Tu Casa Es Una Casa de Paz en Dios (Your House is a House of Peace in the Lord)

By Manña L.

Many of you know that Emerging FIELD is a tutoring service. Some of you may also be aware that we are a faith-based organization. We love to serve our community and honor the Lord in everything we do.

In many Spanish churches, the phrase “Gloria de Dios!” is used quite often. It means Glory to God! At Emerging FIELD, we strive to bring that same glory to our Savior, Jesus Christ, while serving and tutoring the children at Arcadia Park. 

For parents who may read this blog, searching for a means to give your child the best out of life: We want to encourage you to take what we give from these devotionals and teach it in your home when you can. We trust your judgement in knowing what to teach and when to teach it; let this blog serve as a guideline to bringing peace to you and your loved ones. 

La Paz de Dios Esté Con Ustedes (The Peace of God Is With You)
¿Qué es la paz?  (What is Peace?) 

Peace is sometimes hard to describe. Peace can be a feeling you have, when all is still and you are not worried about anything. You say to yourself: “¡No te preocupes!” (Don’t worry about it!) and you find everything in your world is just right. Peace can also be what you see around you, when your surroundings are still and quiet. We want to encourage you to know that Peace is something good and El Spíritu Santo, the Holy Spirit, carries that peace.
 
La Paz es Un Regalo Para Ti.  (Peace is a Gift for You)
During Christmas time, we like to give gifts to show goodness and kindness to other people. Our God is good all the time. He who is good will give you the peace and strength you need to keep going.

John 14:27 says: 
 “27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Peace is a  gift that He gives to you from His Spirit (Galatians 5:22). The best thing to do with such a good gift is take time to sit still and receive it (let Him give you that gift). It is His honor to bless you with the gift of peace. It is your right to take the gift and receive it. 

¿Cómo es la Paz in Mi Vida?  How is Peace in My Life/ What Does it Look Like? 

Peace in your life looks like being quiet in your heart. It looks like being joyful because of the Peace you find in The Lord. Peace is a quiet happiness that stays forever. Today, we ask that no matter what it looks like, no matter how hard things get, be still.  There is power in choosing peace. Choose peace and you will find yourself empowered every day with new strength given by God. He is close and He loves you dearly. He wants you to have His peace. 

We hope this devotional helps bring the peace you need into your home. If you have questions about how to get involved, or what days we have tutoring, feel free to contact us at:
