Day 4 Making an list to improve

I was looking yesterday how two parts and if one part doesn't sit right then it can feel as wrong as playing a bad note in a song. So this got me thinking, What causes us to lose our peace? Lots of things, running around losing control, usually the little things, That's why it's so important to 'exercise' walking in peace every day. For example, you have to decide when to close your mouth and not be easily offended. And you have to be OK with being wrong sometimes. This is easier said than done at times. You can't just sit back and wish for peace, wish the devil would leave you alone, or wish that people would do what you want. The Bible tells us to actively pursue peace. You have to make up your mind to crave peace. Like What I was trying to say yesterday, knowing where you're feeling incomplete, try to persue to become more. Are you looking for a breakthrough in your life but no matter how hard you try, it's not coming? It's more than likely because you are not living in peace. So I urge you, crave peace, seek after it, and go for it with all your might! The problem that I see here is that the search of peace within us are usually trampled upon by mistakes of the past. We are usually left on guard trying to protect ourselves from getting hurt again. BUT in this protection, the guard that's protecting us can stop good coming in. So my next question is what are you doing? Don't Be Busy. Be Fruitful. Are you doing 'stuff' that isn't bearing fruit? Is busyness stealing your peace? I once heard of a guard who watched over a certain plot of ground at Buckingham Palace in England. For 100 years, 24 hours a day, that plot of land had been guarded. Finally, someone asked, 'What are you guarding?' He didn't know and simply said it had been under guard for 100 years. It turned out that 100 years ago, the queen had planted some rose bushes there and wanted to make sure they grew. Now, a century later, a guard stood where a rose bush once stood, guarding nothing. Are there things you're doing but you don't know why you're doing them anymore? God never called us to be busy. He called us to be fruitful. Too much pointless activity doesn't bear fruit and only stresses us out. Are the things that you're doing standing in the way, like a guard. Stopping you on your path, not being able to find the song of your life, find the right balance of peace in you. I encourage you to take an inventory of what you do throughout the day.( and who doesn't enjoy making a list?) You might be doing something God's not asking you to do, or something He was asking you to do but isn't anymo
