"PEACE BE WITH YOU............"

"You will....be led forth in peace" Isaiah 55:12


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 unto you: not as the world giveth…" (John 14:27).

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).

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 honor. 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). So, be at peace, don't rush ahead of God, be confident knowing that God cares about what happens to you (1 Peter 5:7).

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from Me, or seen in Me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:6-9
