Follow Peace - And Holiness

More from blogs on the web that help restore peace to my soul.

It was not a peaceable week last week, nor was my walk that peaceable. But my studies today have shown me some light.

From Hebrews: THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS - CHAPTER 12
Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth—God is the Father of spirits—To see God, follow peace and holiness—Exalted saints belong to the Church of the Firstborn.

From Me: To see God, follow peace and holiness.

More from Hebrews:
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him cendured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

From me: Faint in my mind = a loss of hope or of peace (or of holiness, a new addition to my quest). Run the race with patience keeping my eyes upon The Finisher.
