Peace

Psalm 72:3
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

Peace. People hunger for peace. Nations strive for peace. Why is it so elusive?

Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Apart from the Lord, there is no peace. The less our trust in the Lord, the less our Peace.

John 14:27
Jesus said - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid

The peace Jesus leaves us is the fullness of a life without fear - if we keep our mind stayed on Him and trust him.

The opposite of peace is not war - but fear which leads to worry, anger, hate. and ultimately separation from God.

Peace from the Lord calms the heart, allows us to rise above the circumstances of life, and overcome the enemy who desires to stir up strife among the brethren.

Keep your mind on the Lord, Trust him, and walk in Peace.
