Peace like a river!! Isaiah 48:18

Good morning all!!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord!!! What a great day to know that we are children of God!!!! No, not everyone is a child of God.......only those who accept the Lord.. Good ol boys was our sermon last Sunday at church. Yes, good ol boys are nice to have around, BUT, good ol boys do not get into God's kingdom just because they are good. They still have to take the step to accept the Lord and have no other gods.
How can you have peace in your life? God makes it very simple. In Isaiah 48:18 "IF ONLY YOU HAD PAID ATTENTION TO MY COMMANDS. THEN YOUR PEACE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A RIVER, AND YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS LIKE THE WAVES OF THE SEA."
So, if we pay attention to God's commands we will have peace like a river. What does this mean to you? I see water flowing gently, calmly, and smoothly between the banks (God & Jesus?) and going only where the banks allow or lead.
"YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS LIKE THE WAVES OF THE SEA", what does this mean to you? To me, it means there are many items here, as the waves of the sea. In a righteousness life there is faith, honesty, generous, love, kindness, being humble, being grateful and worshiping. I am sure there are many more terms that may come to mind later, or that you are thinking about.
If we choose to follow Jesus, our saviour, we should try to live accoridng to HIS commandments, live by the outline in the Bible and teach our children and let our example go forth. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "Only he who believes is obedient. Only he who is obedient believes."
May your day flow as a river and the waves of righteousness lap over you constantly. Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
