  Peace: A Rare Commodity Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:16, NIV “ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. ” (2 Thessalonians 3:16, NIV) Peace is a rare commodity in our tumultuous world. Most people would give almost anything in order to experience peace. So many times people look in the wrong places for peace. The Scripture addresses peace in many places. The above passage gives us a good start. We learn that Jesus Christ is the source of peace for the believer. In fact, we are instructed, “ And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ” (Colossians 3:15–16, NKJV) Experiencing God’s peace is a CHOICE. We are to let the peace of God rule in our hearts. This is accomplished by...

  Introduction Exodus 23:1–13: After receiving the Ten Commandments from God, Moses continues to deliver God’s moral and religious laws to the people (Exodus 20—22). In today’s reading, Moses speaks LORD’s words about treating people fairly and observing sabbath rest in planting and harvesting. Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 23:13a GNT “Listen to everything that I, the LORD, have said to you.” Read 23 “Do not spread false rumors, and do not help a guilty person by giving false testimony.  2  Do not follow the majority when they do wrong or when they give testimony that perverts justice.  3  Do not show partiality to a poor person at his trial. 4  “If you happen to see your enemy's cow or donkey running loose, take it back to him.  5  If his donkey has fallen under its load, help him get the donkey to its feet again; don't just walk off. 6  “Do not deny justice to a poor person when he appears in court.  7  Do not make false accusati...

  Delight Yourself In God’s Word Scripture: Jeremiah 15:16, NIV and Psalm 37:4, NIV “ When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, Lord God Almighty. ” (Jeremiah 15:16, NIV) “ Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. ” (Psalm 37:4, NIV) The Word of God is at the heart of KingdomNomics. Kingdom of God makes no sense unless it is understood within the context of God’s Word. Both Jeremiah and the Psalmist show us how to position ourselves in relationship to God so God can make himself known to us and actively participate in our lives. Yes, feeding on the Word is critical for this to happen. Jeremiah gives us the “mechanics” for experiencing God in our life. When he found God’s Words, he “ate” them. In other words, he internalized the Word of God by  memorizing and meditating  on it to the point God’s Word became his heart’s delight. We call these passages  spiritual M&Ms , passages ...

  Psalm 33: Today’s reading exhorts the people shout for joy, to praise and thank the LORD, and to sing a new song to him. Assurance of the LORD’s constant love comes from trust and obedience. Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 33:5 GNT The LORD loves what is righteous and just; his constant love fills the earth. Read 33 All you that are righteous,     shout for joy for what the Lord has done;     praise him, all you that obey him. 2  Give thanks to the Lord with harps,     sing to him with stringed instruments. 3  Sing a new song to him,     play the harp with skill, and shout for joy! 4  The words of the Lord are true,     and all his works are dependable. 5  The Lord loves what is righteous and just;     his constant love fills the earth. 6  The Lord created the heavens by his command,     the sun, moon, and stars by his ...

  3 Ways to Find Peace in Christ Scripture: Colossians 3:15, NLT “ And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. ” (Colossians 3:15, NLT) Jesus Christ is the source of our peace. He is the fountain of life. As believers, our relationship with him allows us to have access to this peace through  Soak, Sow, and Flow , a process that is a basic principle in KingdomNomics. Paul shows us how this can be done: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:16–17, NKJV). These verses encompass all of the steps in the SOAK, SOW, and FLOW principle. First,   the Word of God needs to be filling our lives. His Word...

  “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.” Matthew 13:24–25, NIV Weeds In Jesus’ parable of the weeds, the farmer sowed good seed in his field, expecting a great harvest like he’d seen year after year. But when the wheat came up, so did the weeds that an enemy had sown in the night. The weeds were not the farmer’s fault. He hadn’t been lazy or failed to watch over his land. He did all the right things but still had these problems. Just because you’re having difficulties doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. You may have sown good seed, been faithful, honored God, given and served, and gone the extra mile, but weeds have popped up in your field. Things you didn’t sow. You raised your child right, but now he’s gotten off course. You’ve given your best at your business, but you had a setback, lost a client. You don’t understand it and could blame yourself....
