Daily Blessings

Peace, Be Still

I REST IN THE POWER OF GOD, AND I KNOW THAT ALL IS WELL.

Sometimes we spin our wheels over anxious thoughts and feelings. We may over-eat, over-talk, and exhaust ourselves in many ways, simply because we cannot be still and allow God to establish perfect good in our lives.

Jesus said, “Peace, be still.” Let us repeat these powerful words to ourselves whenever we feel that we personally must solve every problem and provide every answer, or whenever we don’t know what to do, and we are mentally pacing the floor.

God’s power is able to work in us and in others to bring forth the highest good for all, whenever we do not put up barriers. Barriers are built out of worry thoughts, doubts (whether spoken or in thought), and fears. Let us cleanse our minds and hearts of all worry, fear, and limitation and allow this wonderful spiritual power to freely flow through us and our affairs. We will help ourselves and others as well. Always check your “spinning wheels” with these words: ‘”Peace, be still.”

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39)

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
