Peace

This week’s Bible reading: Romans 8:5-7 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. - Most of us want to live a life of peace - Paul says we constantly at ‘war’ with ourselves - We live in the world but are encouraged to live by the Spirit - If we want to live in peace, all we need to do is to submit to the will of God Prayer: Lord I submit to Your will and receive the peace Your Word promises. Amen.
