Hello! Hello! I am Melinda Heath welcome to Lifestyle of Daily Joy thank you for being here and spending your precious time with me listening to episode #22 “God’s promises + Peace in Christ”

If you would like, take a minute to grab your favorite nutritional snack and beverage as well as a pen or pencil and some paper so that you have something to make notations with, just in case you have any takeaways from the episode and you would like to write them down.

Alright, today we are focusing on God’s peace and his promises, which happen to be intertwined, and I will be providing lots of scripture verses, demonstrations or examples (if you will) to show how his promises and peace go hand in hand.

“Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I command you.”
