PEACE

Peace: Freedom, soundness, healthy, secure.

Numbers 6:26; The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Isaiah 26:3; Thou wilt keep him in perfect (complete) peace, whose mind is stayed (steadfast) on thee, because he trusted in thee.

God will give you complete peace when your mind is stayed on him, no matter where you are.

We need peace in this day and hour, without the peace of God, we won’t make it.

But we are still holding on because God has given us the peace to do it.

The devil, and this world tries to steal our peace, like a wild dog coming after you, to cause you trouble, but stand strong and tell that old dog to get out of here. Stand still and let God handle the dogs of this world, and he will destroy them.

Apostle Peter, in both of his epistles, sends greetings of grace and peace to the believers, let it be multiplied unto you, through the knowledge of God, and Jesus our Lord.

We can have peace through trials, we can have peace through temptations, we can have the peace of God in our lives.

God has given us peace, no matter what we face in this world.

2 Corinthians 13:11; Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

If you live in peace, our God of peace will be with you, but if you live in turmoil, you don’t know which way to turn or what to do, and there is no peace. 

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

The world doesn’t offer peace, it can give you wealth, material things, fame, but it can’t give you the true peace that only comes from God.

Philippians 4:7; And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

When we lose a loved one in death, God’s peace can keep our heart and mind. He can bring such a peace that we don’t quite understand it all. 

2 Thessalonians 3:16; Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

We do get down sometimes, and overwhelmed, but we got to look up and declare, Lord, you are the God of peace, you are God of all comfort, you give me what I need. You take me through what I need to go through, you are there with me, I am not alone. All we have to do is ask God, and he will bring us such a peace that passes our understanding.

He will lift his countenance upon you and give you peace.
