JUST FOR TODAY! -- Gyroscopic

From "Using the Serenity Prayer:"

"That word 'serenity' looked like an impossible goal when we first saw the prayer.  In fact, if serenity meant apathy, bitter resignation, or stolid endurance, then we didn't even want to aim at it.  But we found that serenity meant no such thing. When it comes to us now, it is more as plain recognition -- a clear-eyed, realistic way of seeing the world, accompanied by inner peace and strength.  Serenity is like a gyroscope that lets us keep our balance no matter what turbulence swirls around us.  And that IS a state of mind worth aiming for."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

The base of serenity is God.  Without knowing who God is in our lives, peace will always be an impossible goal we keep trying to achieve. 

When we view the world from our eyes we are bitter and we miss the reason -- we really are trying to make the search through rose colored glasses. 

When we seek God – we find this wonderful Power that keeps us on a straight and narrow road.  We grow to know that He is the same, always, that He is the power and the wisdom we always need -- because He is just – because He is holy.  We can rest in His presence knowing His peace.  Yes it is a gyroscope to us -- teetering at times but when we get to the base -- God – it keeps us balanced.

Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever!  Amen. -- Revelation 1: 4-6
