REMOVAL OF CONFUSION: Hey Don't Miss Your F.I.T.

Our Devotional Team has some great perspectives instore for you based on this week’s theme Removal of Confusion. By week’s end not only will you have a better understanding about confusion, but you will also have 1 Corinthians 14:33 committed to memory.

SCRIPTURE: "For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints."  1 Corinthians 14:33

So when you are gearing up towards getting your physical, as well as spiritual 'cardio' started, as you run this race, and walk in the spirit, and run and not faint and as you wrestle not against flesh and blood, as well as press toward the mark, you most certainly want the correct footwear. You want your tootsies shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. It can be appreciated that having the peace of God, and having peace with God, as the scripture would attest provides an essential thing within the life of a believer, by which clarity [and not confusion] reigns, permitting through the Holy Spirit our watch, our wait, our walk, our work, and our war as personal expressions of wisdom, even our worship, so necessary day to day . "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace..."1 Corinthians 14:33

Preserving the LORD's testimony amongst us [removing confusion and fostering clarity] will lend to the needed peace that the world [or at least our near-world] is outright lacking. This is letting Jesus' light shine. When we yield ourselves this way, we will be a peacemaker. Having the anointing of the Spirit of Christ, we are equipped to press forward with the fruit of the Spirit, peace, cultivating it as we go... not being so perfect in practice, but being perfected upon His saving grace. We are saved from the penalty of sin, we are being saved from the persuasion of sin, and will be saved from the presence of sin. Hey! Because the LORD is my Shepherd, I have everything I need, Psalm 23:1. I have peace with God! I have the peace of God! Amen! If we are pursuant of spiritual fitness, this will show. Peace will show. [Are ya F-I-T?]

Don't miss your fit (your faith inspired training)! Of this there is freedom in Christ, there is inspiration built through the Word and the Spirit, and there is training within the dynamic of fellowship with the saints, across the highs and the lows of life. Of this there is no place for confusion to succeed and plenty of room for the cultivation of that peace which passes understanding. The opposite of confusion is biblical worship. Step it up. Get mo' better fit today, and bless God, having such as peace. Have at it, one day at a time. Let us come together, and worship Him!
Amen.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I praise You, and thank You for Your manifest love in Christ Jesus towards us all. Prayerfully gratitude's reach will overcome the heightened fallen tendencies we see played out in our news, or even nearer not becoming news. Hopefully the light that we bear will be that of the Lord, and it will have its fullest impact. Your will be done! Dear God, work a work within us that brings some of that needed peace out, having that clarity that we can grab onto and find ourselves in alignment with You enough to share. Help us to be strong and courageous through a love which never fails. May God's way and goodness prevail. Amen.
