God Promises Peace
This Scripture tells us that when we listen to what the Lord has to say, when we are faithful to Him in every way, God will grant us His peace. His peace may not always come the way we expect it either. How do we do this: we read His Word, we pray, we focus our thoughts upward, and in drawing closer to Him we will gain His wealth……Spiritual wealth that is.
The last part of the verse is like a warning…..”But let them not turn to folly.” (Foolishness, recklessness, etc. ) for God has certain standards….When we remove ourselves from under God’s protection, there will be a price to pay, we don’t like to hear this part, but that’s just the way it is. God cannot accept our sinful ways. We only have to look at what happen in The Garden of Eden.

I am a Christian who believes in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I also believe that Jesus will soon return to this earth.
I believe that if the Caterpillar can fly we too can learn to fly. We just have to attach our wings in the right place. As you know the Caterpillar uses the Milk Weed as its host, its source for food. And we too have a "Host" and He also provides us with abundant food. If we used the fuel from this food (Scripture) effectively, we too would be able to fly. Our "Minds" can be freed from all burdens and stress. We can more easily be lifted up when we allow God to be our Host. He would continually feed us. God through His word can teach us how to fly...if only in our thoughts and minds.

Great post. A couple of bloggers are talking about listening to God. I just commented on one that we indeed need to read his Word. You are right, that we cannot assume his peace and assurance when we are not listening, walking in the Spirit. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by…..may we all keep looking upward, striving to get closer to God every day.
