Day 51: You Are At Peace

“[God] will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in [Him]” (Isaiah 26:3, NIV). But what exactly is peace? While writing about suffering, I mentioned the fact that no human is exempt from the effects of sin. So how can we have peace when we are suffering and in pain? The answer is this: we don’t need to have everything perfect in order to have peace; we just need to be reminded that God is in control and sovereign.

When the whole world is crumbling around us (and everyone’s seems to be these days), it doesn’t feel like there is a lot of peace. Our comfort zones are encroached upon over and over. Our plans are being upended and cancelled. Whatever we expected and hoped for the past few months are no longer happening. That doesn’t sound like much peace at all…

But nothing surprises God. Psalm 119:165 tells us “Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble” (NIV). Our hope and salvation is not in anything this world can offer, and therefore, our peace cannot come from within it either. God is sovereign and omniscient. Our peace can be in Him who is unshakable and unchanging.

“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you” (2 Thessalonians 3:16, NIV). We are to exemplify Christ in every way possible, allowing the Spirit to work where we lack. Trust in God and know He is in control of it all. Be kind to others and live out your faith with a calm spirit, trusting that when things appear to be going wrong, God still has a plan. You are at peace.
