Sæktu forritiðPause: A Month of Peace in Five Minutes a DaySýnishorn
Proclaim
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7)
Prompt
With peace comes goodness. God’s gifts are good. God’s ways are good. God’s posture toward us is always good. God is unfiltered, unimpeded, unbounded, uninhibited Goodness.
The problem comes when we confuse OUR IDEA of good with God’s pure, actual Good. Sometimes, in the name of pragmatism or idealism, we call evil good, but God’s peaceful wisdom looks past those worldly values and adds more and more and more of his REAL Good to our world.
And that feels a lot like peace.
Prod
Are there worldly ideals you’ve confused with God’s goodness? Identify them and lift them to God in repentance.
Praise
Listen to “God, You’re So Good” by Passion
Pray
Jesus, you are good, good, good. Show me your Good instead of mine. Let me call things “good” that are actually good as you know it, not as I do. Don’t let me get confused about what is your Real Good when I encounter it today! Amen.

In this reading plan, drawn from his book, Lance Lang invites you to neutralize those tools by taking a pause each day, studying scripture, reading encouragement, taking action, and refocusing your attention on Jesus. Press forward into what God has for you. Press pause.
