Lately, I find myself saying, “I need a break, I need a getaway.” The hustle and bustle of life and the abnormalities that it brings these days, can take a toil on the best Bible reader, sound Christian, worshipper, speaking in tongue prayer warrior. I had to have an adult conversation with myself, and say, “ Self even if you talk a moment from the family, from personal obligations, if you don’t tap into that inner peace then you are taking a break with the person who is causing you the most chaos (myself)!” In reality it isn’t the getaway from everyone else it’s the reclaiming my God given inner peace from those I have allowed to take it, and the things I freely handed it over to. We all must come to a defining moment about peace, Peace isn’t the absents of Problems it’s the presence of God’s presence in every situation of my life. Peace is not the absence of noise it’s the presence of God’s order amongst disorder around us. Peace is not the absence of a fight, it’s the aptitude of walking away, and rising above the “I must win” mentality. Our relationship with God provides us access to inner peace, and we get to decide when and how we operate in that peace. Peace is you knowing whose you are, and that you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone. When we define ourselves by the standards of man, we lose sight of who God purposed us to become. We find ourselves in turmoil because we lower our Godly standards to please an ungodly world. Recently, I had the opportunity to view myself wanting to fight a battle that I know God had already won for me. Because of a simple fact, I was allowing Satan to tear down my wall of inner peace; therefore, I began to fight my own battle and found myself losing, not just the battle but my self-worth, my character, and my peace of mind. But I came across Romans 16:20, that reminded me(in my own words) to keep my feet on the devil’s neck, because I have a Kingdom right to do it, by God’s Grace.
