The Peace of God Day 6
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21
How reassuring to know that God doesn’t leave us to our own devices when it comes to fulfilling His will! God knows that in my flesh I would want to do things my way, and with that make a mess. Therefore He not only calls us to live a life that honors Him but also equips us with everything we need to succeed. This promise comes from the “God of peace,” who leads us with gentleness and grace, making us complete in Christ.
We may sometimes feel inadequate—lacking the strength, wisdom, or resources to live in a way that pleases God. But today’s Scripture reminds us that it is God Himself who equips us. Through Jesus Christ, we are empowered to do good, to align with His will, and to reflect His glory in our lives.
God’s equipping isn’t just about giving us tools or resources; it’s about transforming us from the inside out. He molds our desires, sharpens our character, and prepares us for His purposes. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us, ensuring that we can fulfill His will with confidence and joy.
When we submit to God’s equipping, peace flows into our hearts. Why? Because we realize that the outcome doesn’t depend on our efforts alone but on His divine provision and faithfulness.
📍ACTION
Reflect on an area where you feel inadequate or unprepared. As you pray today, surrender that area to God, and ask Him to equip you with the strength you need to be obedient to His calling and the strength you need to carry out the task He has called you to.
Evening Thought (8 PM Theme):
“Strength and Peace as blessings to God’s People.” — Psalm 29:11
As you prepare to rest tonight, meditate on God’s ability to strengthen and equip you. Trust that He is actively working for your good and His glory. Rest in the peace of His provision.
Prayer for today: Father, thank You for being the God of peace who equips me with everything good to do Your will. I surrender my weaknesses and limitations to You, trusting that You are working in me to accomplish what pleases You. Transform my heart, guide my steps, and help me rely on Your strength today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
