Amani Read: 1 Samuel 16:14-23 God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1.7 Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 33-34; 1 Peter 5 Amani, which means peace in Swahili, is the name of a Labrador retriever pup that has some special friends. Amani lives with two young cheetahs at the Dallas Zoo. Zoologists placed the animals together so the cheetahs could learn Amani´s relaxed ways. Since dogs are generally at ease in public settings, the experts predict that Amani will be a calming influence in the cheetahs lives as they grow up together. David was a soothing influence in King Saul´s life when a distressing spirit troubled him 1 Sam. 16:14. When Saul´s servants learned of his problem, they thought music might ease his affliction. One servant summoned David, who was a skilled harpist. Whenever the king became troubled, David would play the harp. Then Saul would become refreshed and well (v.23). We crave refreshment and well-being when we are plagued by anger, fear, or sadness. The God of the Bible is a God of peace (Heb. 13:20-21), One who gives His Holy Spirit to everyone who believes in Him. When we´re agitated or anxious, we can remember that God´s Spirit produces power, love, and self-contro l 2 Tim. 1.7. God´s influence in our lives can create a calming effect one that leads to comfort and wholeness. We´re grateful, Father, for the peace that You offer for our hearts. Nothing has the power to take that away. Thank You that Your peace has come to stay. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.Jesus |
