Run with It And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV) A runner does a couple things when they compete on the track. One thing is they clear their mind, second they make sure what they are wearing, including their shoes, are as light as possible. The reason is so when they run, they are able to obtain the maximum speed possible. So it is with our lives, we are to run with what we have written down without the weights of stress, struggle, shame, frustration, insecurities, famine, and run with God’s goodness, favor, presence, and the spirit of a finisher. As we run with what we have written down, we are able to reach our full potential and arrive at destiny without the baggage of yesterday. Today, run with what God has place in your heart and see yourself there. Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me. Forgive me for false starting at times. I wait for the set time you have positioned me to move in. I give you all of my false starts and insecurities. I give you everything that would hinder me from moving into the abundant life. I am living with your unlimited favor, wisdom, and presence. In Jesus Name Amen. Jesus Has Given You His Peace Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you… John 14:27 In Israel, Jews greet each other with the words “shalom, shalom”. Unlike the English word “peace”, “shalom” does not just mean peace of mind, but also wholeness for your entire being—spirit, soul and body. It means having a sense of completeness and soundness. In other words, shalom encompasses your provision, health and total well-being. When Jesus spoke to His disciples in John 14:27, He did not use the English word “peace”. He would have used the Hebrew word “shalom”, saying, “Shalom I leave with you, My shalom I give to you…” Interestingly, the word “leave” here actually means “bequeath”, the way a rich man bequeaths his estate to his beneficiary. The disciples must have been excited when they heard that Jesus was bequeathing them His shalom. They must have known that to receive His shalom was to have His health because they had never seen Him sick. To have His shalom also meant never being in lack because He was never broke. Whenever He needed money, money was there. Once, money to pay the temple tax came in the mouth of a fish! (Matthew 17:24–27) The disciples also understood that having Jesus’ shalom meant having His abundance because they had seen Him meeting the needs of thousands with plenty of leftovers. They saw him feeding 5,000 men (not counting the women and children) with 12 baskets full of leftovers! (Mark 6:34–44) Jesus wanted His disciples to know that His peace was different from the peace that the world offers. His peace would change whatever trying circumstances that beset them. Even if it was a mega storm, it would have to bow to His peace. The Prince of Peace merely spoke, “Peace, be still!” and the winds and the sea obeyed Him. (Mark 4:39) His peace changed the mega storm into a perfect calm. Beloved, that is the kind of peace that Jesus has bequeathed to you. Therefore, believe that His shalom which He has left with you will change all your difficult situations, bringing you from sickness, lack and mental anguish to health, provision and total wellness! Thought For The Day Jesus has bequeathed you His shalom, which does not just mean peace of mind, but also wholeness for your spirit, soul and body. https://youtube/watch?v=2hmPqY19JYI
