In the USA we have a national holiday called "Thanksgiving". We celebrate by gathering together with family and friends to give thanks to God for all the good that we have in our lives.
Of all the friends and family that God graces us with, of all the riches the world can bring, of all the spiritual blessing God sends our way, personally, I find inner peace a blessing to be especially thankful for.
Finding True Inner Peace instead of Struggling with the Illusion of Outer Peace
Outer peace is working 50-60 hours a week in order to purchase a high quality of life and finding you are too tired to enjoy it. Outer peace is buying a bigger home in order to be like the Jones' then realizing the Jones' are in debt up to their eyeballs.
Outer peace is running in the rat race not realizing even if you win you're still a rat. Outer peace is doing the same thing every day expecting a different result. Outer peace is a life of quiet desperation.
Inner peace is one's ability to stop and enjoy the mountains and the trees, the sun in the sky and all of God's creations. Inner peace is the ability to turn off the cell phone with the belief that no emergency is as important as enjoying a magical moment with your spouse or listening to the sounds of your children's giggles.
Inner peace is the ability to see a brighter day when you have no job. Inner peace is the belief that tomorrow will be better than today and that you have the ability to influence it.
Inner peace is not an ongoing feeling; it is a moment by moment feeling. It is a feeling that can only be achieved through the principles of passion, discipline and balance.
Achieving inner peace begins with your passionate commitment to God and His higher standard. Then it takes self discipline to keep it going daily. And finally, it takes personal balance to stay on track for the long run
Thoughts beget action, actions beget results.

Reading the Bible from a
Hebrew Perspective
|
The best way to find inner peace is to study the Bible and integrate God's Word into your life. Reading the Bible in your own language, (mine is English) brings certain translational problems because the books of the Bible were not written in your language, they were written in Hebrew and Greek.
Also, we must consider that the culture in which it was written is different from our own. The way in which the Hebrews viewed the words written in scripture is crucial as we try to interpret the meaning from their mindset in their language and culture into our language, culture and mindset today.
Therefore, when reading the Bible we must read it with a Hebrew understanding. Please enjoy this article about Reading the Bible from a Hebrew Perspective.
May our glorious Father, our God in heaven richly bless you though our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Minister Daniel Sweet & Debbra Sweet |

"He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or out of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." 2 Cor 9:6-7
