Getting Ready-21 Days of Prayerનમૂનો

I was terrible at Math. However, pretty decent at comedy. Some would disagree. Here's a couple math jokes I found online at 11:00pm at night. 

Why doesn’t anybody talk to circles? Because there’s no point.

What do mathematicians do after a snowstorm? Make snow angles!

Why was math class so long? The teacher kept going off on a tangent.

Why wasn’t the geometry teacher at school?  Because she sprained her angle.

I'll stop. Math was all about formulas. You may or may not know this, but in Philippians 4, Paul gives us a formula for peace. Let's read it again. 

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Let's read it again.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

You want to find the answer to peace? Follow the formula. It's right there. God's Word tells you exactly what to do. He gives us the answer. That's the kind of math I love. 

Challenge: I encourage you to listen to your favorite worship song today and just rejoice. No matter what you are going through. Have a perspective of praise. I can promise you when you rejoice, you'll experience His peace. 

Prayer: Jesus thank you for being my Peace. I rejoice in who You are and am grateful that You are always near.
