Devotion 350

Devotion 350: My times in prayer stir up peace within me that nourishes me with serenity even in the most stressful times. How beautiful is the assurance
of God's love and peace in every moment of my life!
Each prayer is a reunion of my conscious awareness with the presence of God. Each time I reach a total awareness of God, I feel a surge of peace. And the beauty of it all is that God is always present in me and in my life.
Allowing the healing, soothing flow of peace to roll over me, I relax and discover new energy and creativity.
I am amazed that what seemed like such a challenge only moments before I prayed has been replaced by my understanding of a solution all in a moment of peaceful prayer.
Q. F. D."'Oh, how beautiful, God, is the assurance of Your love and peace!'"
Verse From Devotion: "How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who announces peace." Isaiah 52:7.
Chapter Context: Cheer for Downtrodden Zion
"Awake, awake, Put on your strength, O Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no longer come into you. [Rev 21:27] Shake yourself from the dust, arise, O captive Jerusalem; Rid yourself of the chains around your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion. For the Lord says this, "You were sold for nothing and you will be redeemed, but not with money." For the Lord God says this, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and [many years later Sennacherib] the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. But now, what do I have here," declares the Lord, "seeing that My people have been taken away without reason? Those who rule over them howl [with taunting and mockery of salvation]," declares the Lord, "and My name is continually blasphemed all day long. [Rom 2:24] Therefore My people shall know My Name and what it means. Therefore in that day I am the One who is speaking, 'Here I am.' " [Ex 3:13, 14] How beautiful and delightful on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace, Who brings good news of good [things], Who announces salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!" [Acts 10:36; Rom 10:15; Eph 6:14-16] Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, Together they shout for joy; For they will see face to face The return of the Lord to Zion. Break forth, shout joyfully together, You ruins of Jerusalem; For the Lord has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared His holy arm (His infinite power) Before the eyes of all the nations [revealing Himself as the One by Whom Israel is redeemed from captivity], That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God. [Luke 2:29-32; 3:6] Depart, depart, go out from there (the lands of exile), Touch no unclean thing; Go out of the midst of her (Babylon), purify yourselves, You who carry the articles of the Lord [on your journey from there]. [2 Cor 6:16, 17] For you will not go out in a hurry [as when you left Egypt], Nor will you go in flight [fleeing, as you did from the Egyptians]; For the Lord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard."
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬.
5 stars out of 5 stars for true excellent consistency between Bible Passage and the Devotion paired with it.
15 Devotions left from the Chicken soup book to reveal it will only take up three chapters Devotions 351-359, Devotion 360 in a singular chapter and Devotions 361-365 will be the final chapter, Skylights. I did decided not to re organize chapters or schedule anymore for this book.
