THE PEACE OF GOD WE ask for peace, O Lord! Thy children ask Thy peace. Not what the world calls rest, That toil and care should cease: That through bright sunny hours, Calm life should fleet away, And tranquil night should fade In smiling day. It is not for such peace that we would pray. We ask for peace, O Lord! Yet not to stand secure, Girt round with iron pride, Contented to endure; Crushing the gentle strings That human hearts should know; Untouched by others' joys, Or others' woe. Thou, O dear Lord! wilt never teach us so. We ask Thy peace, O Lord, Through storm and fear and strife, To light and guide us on Through a long, struggling life; While no success or gain Shall cheer the desperate fight, Or nerve what the world calls Our wasted might: Yet pressing through the darkness to the light. It is Thine own, O Lord! Who toil while others sleep; Who sow, with living care, What other hands shall reap: They lean on Thee, entranced In calm and perfect rest; Give us that peace, O Lord! Divine and blest, Thou keepest for those hearts that love Thee best. ~ Adelaide Ann Procter 1825~1864 12·Sep 5

Loyalty, Not Feeling God accepts obedience without emotion, but cannot accept emotion without obedience. To advise generosity and be selfish, to praise heroism and be a coward, to say, "Lord, Lord," and not do the things the Lord says,—this is self-deception and self-destruction. Obedience God will have, and there is no substitute for it. So essential is it to life, so important is it in all physical, intellectual, and spiritual development, that God is willing to wait for grace and beauty, the high color of feeling, the glow of enthusiasm, if he gets plain obedience. He is not afraid for the flower, if he can get the root. Even knowledge, the appreciation of what the commandments are, He is not jealous over, if only we will do our best to keep his commandments as far as we do understand them. He knows that light comes through doing, not through dreaming; that the best way to understand his will is not to try to understand it, but to try to do it. So it is a thousand times better to do God's will without knowing it than to know it without doing it. It is right to say, "I wish I knew God's will more perfectly." It is better to pray, "O God, help me to do thy will, as I know it, more perfectly than ever." "When saw we thee and fed and clothed and comforted thee? " cried the astonished ones on the right of the judge. They did not realize what they had been doing, but they had done the will of God. Whatever they on the left may have thought or known or hoped or planned, they did not do the will of God. God classified them on this basis. "By thy fruits ye shall be known." We must put the emphasis of living where God will make his tests of life. "Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I say?" Interest yourself in the interesting, be entertained by the entertaining, be absorbed in the absorbing, but do not forget for one day that study, business, pains, pleasures, are only incidental. Loyalty to God is alone fundamental. Feelings, words, deeds, must be beads strung on the string of duty. Let the world tell you in a hundred ways what your life is for. Say you ever and only, "Lo, I come to do thy will, O my God." Out of that dutiful root grows the beautiful life, the life radically and radiantly true to God,-the only life that can be lived in both worlds. Maltbie D. Babcock 1858~1901 (excerpt from his book titled Thoughts For Every-Day Living) 10·Sep 5 “My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.121.2.KJV 13·Sep 5 Heavenly Father, thank You for these reassuring words of comfort from Paul, knowing that the ungodly, who oppress Your children unjustly, will one day be punished, & that a day of rest & rewards is planned for all who live godly in Christ Jesus & suffer persecution for righteousness sake. We pray that we may exhibit faith & patient endurance in the difficulties that we face, for Your greater glory ~ & when we are reviled by evil men, we pray that we may demonstrate the same God~given grace the Lord Jesus Christ showed, when He was despised & rejected by men. Thank You that You are a righteous God & we pray that we are able to rejoice in all our suffering & to learn the lessons of patience & faith that You desire to teach us. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. 12·Sep 5

The Lord Jesus Shall Be Revealed From Heaven Faith & patience in the face of trials & tribulation, were two qualities of the Thessalonian believers. Those who are persecuted for righteousness sake are blessed in the eyes of Jesus, & this is the message of many New Testament writers. The apostle John tells us that sufferings, imprisonment, persecution & even death await many Christians in this life, but a crown of life is the promised reward for those that are faithful during the time of trial & who patiently endure in the day of trouble. James (the younger brother of the Lord Jesus) explains that the testing of our faith produces endurance, while Paul encourages us by revealing that we who are afflicted will certainly be given relief: "When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire." God is the righteous judge of the whole earth, & although we appear to be living in days when evil men prosper & the righteous are treated unjustly, punishment & judgement awaits our persecutors, while peace & rest is the reward for the people of God who are abused, afflicted, troubled & oppressed. Jesus told us that in this world we would have trouble, & in his final epistle to Timothy, the apostle Paul reminds us that all who live godly will suffer persecution. But we are called to rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that affliction works perseverance in the life of a saint. As members of Christ's Body, we are to be of good cheer, for He has overcome the world. We are further exhorted by Peter, not to be surprised by any of the fiery ordeals we may encounter, for God uses them to test us & train us for our fitness to rule & reign with Christ in His coming Millennial Kingdom. Rather, we are to remember that the extent to which we share in the sufferings of Christ is the same measure that will be meted out to us when He returns in power, great splendour & glorious majesty. Paul's comforting words to these suffering saints in Thessalonica gave great assurance to them in their affliction, & also reassures us that a day is coming when God, Who is the righteous Judge of the earth, will one day repay the very people who afflict His children. Indeed, they will be afflicted with great trouble & severe punishment. Often we consider that we suffer alone in times of trouble, but this passage assures us that God is a righteous Judge Who is with us in our pain & will repay with tribulation those that persecute us. Those who have undergone unjust treatment & have suffered for righteousness sake, will be vindicated & avenged by the Lord Himself, for God has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man Whom He has ordained: the Man Christ Jesus. This verse promises retribution for the oppressors of God's people & rest for His saints, when Christ returns for His Church. Vengeance belongs to the Lord & He will repay those who rejected Christ & persecuted His saints. The great & terrible Day of the Lord is fast approaching, when judgement will be poured out in fullest measure on this Christ~rejecting, Christian~hating, sinful world. John the Baptist told us that Christ would baptise believers with the Holy Spirit & unbelievers with a baptism of fiery judgement. The judgement of the nations takes place at the end of the Great Tribulation, but the Great White Throne judgement occurs at the end of Christ's millennial reign when all who have rejected God's offer of salvation & refuse to obey the gospel of Christ will be flung into the flaming fires of everlasting destruction. God is not blind to the treatment His children receive & the abuse we undergo for Christ's sake. One day, the tables will be turned & those who are afflicted will be given relief. All wrongs will be righted when the appointed day for Christ's return arrives & Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. God bless you all. 13·Sep 5
