In my devotions today I learned about the peace of God. I know that true peace can only be found in the Cross of Jesus Christ. Peace with God is different from the peace of God. They both are very important. My prayer today is that God's peace will invade our lives. Jesus spoke of this peace in John 14:27 to His disciples just a day before He was crucified. Listen to what He said:
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Peace with God comes when you give your life to God. Salvation gives us peace with God. What we need in life is the peace of God. Listen to what Paul wrote.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all ...
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ...
If I'm going to have God's peace in my heart, I must accept His view of my current circumstances. Do you believe that?
We must rest in His love and power to see us through it. Not of our own strength but His.
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love
God-those whom He has called according to His plan. ...
When I accept God's view of my circumstances I hold to His promise that nothing will separate us from Him.
Psalm 119:165 tells us how we can enjoy the peace of God.
Those who love Your law have great peace, And nothing causes them to stumble.
God's word is essential. Our soul and heart needs Gods word more than our body needs air.
Our act of servitude is a response of God's love. We should never grow tired. But some do. How does one become tired of doing God's work.
We must do everything in the strength of the lord. We must remind God of His promises to us. He is forever faithful. We must walk, live and do our lives in faith.
I've had a peace about life since I was young. I'm blessed to know that God has been actively working in my life since I was born. Though I deviated off life's journey many times He was always there for me. Carefully guiding me to the place where I am today. Last March I received some tough news about the lost of a real close love one. He lived such a modeled life before God. When He died I didn't question God, I trusted God that His view of the circumstances were perfect. I realized God had called him home. I can honestly say that I experienced the peace of God in this situation. I thought that I was closer to God than I had ever been. Until July I was given the worst news that my heart had ever received. Its is by God's Grace and only by His grace that I was able to endure this news. If it was not for the peace of God this last year I would not had made it. Never would have made it. God is so so so Awesome!!!! Never take Him for granted. Well as you can see I really want you to find both peace with God and the peace of God.
Just say yes......

The Hebrew word translated "peace" is shalom, which also means "completeness," "soundness," "welfare," "tranquility," "contentment," and "friendship." These are all the things we acheive from peace with God. Very well written my friend. I pray you always have the peace with God you seek.
God is a very awesome God. "The peace of God", is very real. I often think I became somebody through loving God. Thank you for your post.
You still writing? Been here everyday.
