The Lord will mediate between peoples and will settle disputes between strong nations far away. Everyone will live in peace and prosperity. – Micah 4:3,4(NLT)
THE PROMISE OF PEACE & PROSPERITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
To those who abide in the Lord Jesus Christ
They are promised a mediator who will settle fights
No longer will there be war, chaos and confusion
He will mediate between peoples and settle the misperception.
The Lord is the peacemaker and he will grant you calm
Run to him so you can experience his mediation and love
He promises peace and prosperity to those who follow him
Why would you compromise the peace and with constant sin?
________________________________________
I lived many years of my life without peace. It was a life full of chaos and confusion. Because I didn’t live for the Lord, I didn’t know his promises to those who love him. I was living in the world and it was ignorant to live that way especially since I have committed my life to Jesus since I was seven years old. When someone decides to turn to him, he will mediate between peoples and nations and make that person experience peace. It took me almost five decades to hear God’s conviction about how I have lived my life those many years. When I decided to obey the Lord, I began experiencing peace and calm. Blessings came pouring down on me.
