Lie Down in Green Pastures of Peace...

Yes, lie down in green pastures of peace... but how when this electronic age keeps His children (all those in Christ) from doing that as it has us 'wired' to the things of this world. The hours wasted in senseless engagement with the world and its numerous forms of social media. The fact is, what we really want (He really wants for us) is engagement with Him, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. How can He shower us with His Love and Peace if we don't even seek it?

Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts [for ladies that means stop running after: age reducing cosmetics, vitamins and or energy drinks, youthful hairstyles and clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry]...Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and peace [quiet]. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. 

As Paul wrote to Timothy, in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious but they will reject the power that could make them godly. 2 Timothy 2:22-3:1-5.

We need to shed all those things which keep us from having a pure heart, one that loves God with all heart, soul, mind and strength! ~ Mark 12:30
