Do You Have Peace About It?
June 20, 2010
‘...You will...be led forth in peace...’ Isaiah 55:12 NIV
One of the first things you lose when you step out of God’s will is your peace. So if you don’t have peace about it, don’t proceed! God’s promise is, ‘You will…be led forth in peace.’ Many times peace is all God will give you to let you know whether you’re on the right track or not, so don’t violate ‘the peace rule’. Jesus said, ‘…My peace I give to you; not as the world gives…’ (John 14:27 NKJV) The world offers a feeling of peace that operates only when everything’s going well. But when the opinions you’re getting seem to be confusing and contradictory, when it feels like nothing is going right for you and yet you’re able to remain calm, you are experiencing ‘…the peace of God, which transcends all understanding…’ (Philippians 4:7 NIV) You say, ‘How do I get this transcendent peace?’ Peter answers: ‘…Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honour. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you…Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters…are going through the same kind of suffering you are…after you have suffered a little while, He will restore, support, and strengthen you, and He will place you on a firm foundation…’ (1 Peter 5:6-10 NLT) So, be at peace, don’t rush ahead of God, be confident knowing that God cares about what happens to you.
