Peace
How can I find
peace?
It's in the Bible, Job 22:21, TLB. "Quit quarreling with
God. Agree with Him and you will have peace at last. His favor will
surround you if you will only admit that you were wrong."
Peace is making
things right with God.
It's in the Bible, Romans 5:1, TLB. "So now, since we
have been made right in God's sight by faith in His promises, we can
have real peace with Him because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has
done for us."
Peace is a gift
from God.
It's in the Bible, John 14:27, TLB. "I am leaving you
with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn't
fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or
afraid."
Peace results
from obeying God's law.
It's in the Bible, Psalm 119:165, NIV. "Great peace have
they who love Your law, and nothing can make them stumble."
Peace is a
worthwhile objective.
It's in the Bible, Romans 14:19, NIV. "Let us therefore
make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual
edification."
Peace is
security.
It's in the Bible, Psalm 122:6-7, NIV. "Pray for the
peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure. May there be
peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
Once I find
peace, how do I keep it?
It's in the Bible, Isaiah 26:3-4, TLB. "He will keep in
perfect peace all those who trust in Him, whose thoughts turn often
to the Lord! Trust in the Lord God always, for in the Lord Jehovah
is your everlasting strength."
Happiness comes
from working for peaceful relationships.
It's in the Bible, Matthew 5:9, TLB. "Happy are those
who strive for peace—they shall be called sons of God."
