Peace

Peace is the absence of conflict or hostility. God does not want us to be hostile and continually having conflicts. He wants us to have peace in our lives. God is the giver of peace.

His peace is the best peace.

“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.”
2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)

It does not matter what size your problem or circumstance is, God is with you and can bring you peace. Anytime, anywhere, and anyplace, God is there.

The hymn “Wonderful Peace” tells of the peace God gives to us.

Wonderful Peace
Author: W.D. Cornell – Composer: W.G. Cooper

1. Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight,
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls,
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Chorus:
Peace! peace! Wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray.
In fathomless billows of love.

2. What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul;
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll.

3. I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all the danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul.

4. And methinks when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransom’d will sing
In that heavenly city will be:

5. Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

We can find calm in the midst of the storm through the peace of God. His security can wrap us tight and give us rest. Take comfort in the shadows of life knowing God is near.  As a child of God, we will be able to see the Author of Peace in heaven someday.

Find best peace in God peace!
