Sunday Stillness - Jesus Calling August 26.

Sunday Stillness – Jesus Calling -08/26

So many times in the past few weeks God is reminding me of His Peace. Last week I drew a picture of a dove and this reminds me that He is our Peace.

Oswald Chambers said:

Look up and receive the undisturbedness of the Lord Jesus (Oswald Chambers, August 26).

If I focus on the problem I can obliterate God. (tweet this)

Jesus told us to let not our hearts be troubled. (John 14:1)

So I need to do exactly what I read in Jesus Calling – detach from the disturbances around me.

Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God (Psalm 42:11, NIV).

Please find time to detach from your world around you. Seek Jesus right now – find His Peace so you can relax and not let the circumstances touch your spirit.

We are still travelling in Poland. Can’t wait to tell you everything God is doing. Follow me on Facebook and Twitter. See the sidebar.

Today is Sunday Stillness.

Read the Sunday Stillness rules if you are new here.

I would appreciate if you would link only about God’s Word. If you have a linky party that’s okay if it is about the same thing. Please no sales or prizes. I want this to be friendly but I must ask you to abide by the rules. Others want to read God’s Word – and that is what I would like the links to be about. I must take down the links that don’t follow the rules. Thanks so much.

JOIN THE SUNDAY STILLNESS COMMUNITY –
READ OTHER POSTS AND ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.

Please check out all the places I link to during the week. Thanks to everyone who has joined Sunday Stillness. I do try to get to your posts every week but I admit sometimes I don’t have the time.
