DAILY-E-VOTIONAL BLESSINGS FROM THE HEART Pastor Cecil A. Thompson November 12, 2013 “ARMISTICE!” Isaiah 59:8 “The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks along them will know peace.” In September 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from Berlin where he had a meeting with Adolph Hitler. He held up a document that had been signed by himself and Hitler. He proclaimed confidently, “Peace for our time!” Less than one year later all of Europe was plunged into the devastation of World War II. November 11th is celebrated in much of the world as Armistice Day. The word armistice means a cessation of conflict. I can still recall the images of people here in America when peace was restored to Europe and then with Japan. People rushed into the streets, laughed, sobbed, and shouted with joy. They felt that everything was going to be okay now that all was peaceful. The sad fact was that peace had never been restored and in fact it will never completely be restored between nations. There will always be wars and rumors of wars until Jesus returns to establish an everlasting ARMISTICE. Until that time comes we can experience a personal armistice. It is a peace that passes all understanding. It is the armistice that comes as we surrender our will to that of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Victory is ours as we make Him the Master of our lives. Praise the Lord! Blessings, Dear Hearts, draw near to God today, trust Him completely, and be a blessing! - - - Pastor Cecil You can find previous E-Votionals covering a variety of Scriptures and topics to help you in your walk with the Lord at Daily-E-Votional Please feel free to forward this E-Votional on to your family and friends.
