I couldn't come up with one inspirational word for this year for 2023; however I chose this phrase because my goal is to fully make use of the shoes of peace as referred to in Ephesians 6, in what is known as the "Armor of God" passages.

Recently, I asked God to reveal to me or to remind me what He wants me to do while waiting. These are the promises, scriptures, and examples that His Spirit quickly brought to my mind when I lifted this question up to Him. I'm sharing these now.

People are saying...it has been 2000 years. Maybe it's not going to happen. Instead, we should expect it to take so long. A passage in Matthew gives an example why.
