Peace With God

3/18/2007

 
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 
Romans 5:1


Today is the last day of my medical restriction...
My left foot is doing much better. The swelling is 95 percent gone and there's only a small amount of pain remaining. My kidneys are obviously functioning better and my strength is slowly returning. By tomorrow I hope to be back to work. I will also be able to return to the chapel services and Bible studies.

But on this sunny morning with lots of snow on the ground, I began the day with praise to the Almighty for His wonderful deliverance. God has healed my body. He has given me a period of rest.

So at sunrise I began to worship the Lord. Standing in the middle of my prison cell I thanked the Creator for making a beautiful universe and putting stars, planets and galaxies into place. He has even numbered the hairs on my head. Nothing escapes His watchful eyes.

As the book of Romans makes it clear, it is through the Lord Jesus Christ that I've been able to make peace with God. The Lord Jesus' blood, which He willingly shed on a splintery wooden cross, has washed away all my sins. And all I had to do was to place my faith in Him.

Unfortunately, however, I may never be able to make peace with each person whom I have wronged. There are those who will remain angry with me forever. This is their choice, and I must accept it. But, thankfully, I have made peace with God. This is what counts the most. And with His divine peace comes a joy which flows into and through me like a never ending river.

D.B.
