True peace is not the absence of war; it is the presence of God. —Loveless

The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. —Philippians 4:7

At this time of the semester, I feel that we do need the peace that passes all understanding. Guard our hearts this day, dear Lord... let us feel and show your peace.

16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!"

This morning I take note of the "continually" and thank my Father for continually rescuing me from things that have brought me down. In church yesterday Hermano Pina mentioned that the evil spirits that surround us are like dogs... they can smell fear. Whether you call them evil spirits or temptations, we don't need to fear, because our Father always is here to rescue us.

3Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
