DIVINE REVELATIONS DAILY DEVOTIONS. Shalom! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer this morning. I am delighted to share the word of hope and encouragement at such a time as this. The title of my message is:"DEVELOPING PEACE IN A VIOLENT, NOISY WORLD" Let me begin by saying these days, all anyone wants is a little peace and quietness. There is so much noise, noise, noise, noise, noise, in this world. The noise isn’t celebratory; it is complaining. It is not the wailing and weeping in Ramah as Rachel weeps for her children. Nor is it the whispers of the oppressed.
The noise, the hate, and, yes, the violence are exhausting.
The amazing thing about the noise surrounding us is who is creating the loudest amount. Those already enjoying a certain amount of comfort and peace complain that their peace is being interrupted. Those interruptions, though, speak to how fragile a personal peace, or a peace based upon violence, can be.
The peace most people seek is too small and achieved through means that are doomed to bring the whole illusion down. There is no such thing as peace that is separated from the whole. My peace is forever connected to the peace of others, and my justice is forever connected to the justice of others. To view it otherwise is only to continue the illusion of peace, not reality.
True peace requires a heart to be changed. True peace understands the connections between not just you and me but between me and everything. True peace sees…
Today, as in the past, we all witness the ill-fated logic that we can achieve peace through violence. The world is not becoming smaller, but we certainly are pushing the limits of population growth. Destroying life, human or otherwise, does not create more livable space. It doesn’t create peace.
Winning the battle has become a losing proposition. Success at the cost to others isn’t a success, after all. Violence begets violence. Injustice begets injustice. Our constant love affair with every type of Pax Romana that controls others through military and violent strength or bending all creation to our benefit has become our end. Such conduct and living conditions are in opposition to all great religious teachings. Remember New beginnings and Acceleration is your portion this year. New beginnings and Acceleration is also my portion! It is well and it shall be well with you and me in due season.( Galatians 6:9) Whatever it is, God can fix It! Have a spirit filled and prayerful weekend! Apostle Fanuel Masikati: Contact:+263778495363Email: divinerevelations7@gmail.com
