The ABCs of Achieving God’s Peace

February 8, 2019 by alisa hope wagner Leave a Comment

Achieving God's Peace

Finding Freedom from Disturbance

Peace is defined as “freedom from disturbance.” We can think of a disturbance as small doors in our mind. These doors have a doorknob on the left side and the right. If we open the left knob, we walk into a room of disturbance. If we open the right knob, we walk into a room of freedom. Once we know what these doors are, we can become better at opening them into God’s peace instead of chaos.

There are six doors that can lead to disturbances. These are the ABC Doors. A) Your Attitude, B) Your Biology, C) Your Circumstance, D) Your Design, E) Your Emotions, and  F) Your Family.

Choosing to open these doors the right way, is a choice. Having peace doesn’t mean we don’t have responsibilities. It doesn’t mean that we won’t have struggles or that our life is easy or perfect. Having peace is a choice. It simply means we have learned to tap into a lifestyle that is free of disturbance. Jesus gave us His gift of peace and it is up to us to open it.

 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14.27 NIV).

The ABCs of Achieving Peace of Mind

 

 Door A: Your Attitude

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philippians 4.8 NIV).

As the saying goes, attitude is everything. It is the one thing in life that we can control. We can wake up on the right side of the bed or the wrong side according to our attitude. We can make it a daily routine to wake up and instantly check our thoughts. We have been saved from the depths of hell through the Finished Work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Nothing is worse than eternity separated from God. We have so much to be grateful for! We must choose to walk in a positive attitude of peace from the start of every day.

 Door B: Your Biology

This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel” (1 Samuel 17.46 NIV).

When King David was young, he chose to fight Goliath. Although King David said that God would fight for him, he still needed a two-part offensive system to bring Goliath down. First, he needed a sling. Second, he needed a sword (the Bible). Some people have difficulty attaining peace due to biological and medical issues. In order to overcome, they need God’s strength and a two-part offensive system of medical help and God’s Word. With God and medicine, they can achieve peace.
