God’s Way of Peace
Here is God’s way of peace…
“I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, oh LORD, make me dwell in safety.” Ps. 4:8
“Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.” Ps. 34:15,16”
“Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; for the future of that man is peace.” Ps. 37:37’
“The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.” Ps. 72:3
“Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.” Ps. 119:165
“When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Prov. 16:7
“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Isa. 26:3
“Or let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.” Isa. 27:5
“The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.” Isa. 32:17
“Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” Isa. 48:18
“There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.” Isa. 48:22 (to the unrepentant wicked!)
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” Isa. 53:5
“All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.” Isa. 54:13
“The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their ways; they have made themselves crooked paths; whoever takes that way shall not know peace.” Isa. 59:8
“The heart of Jesus was always at peace. His life was calm amid the storms of life…. The secrets of Jesus were the perpetual presence of God in His soul, and His never-faltering faith in the loving, careful providence of God in all the experiences of His checkered life. Can we not have this? We may if we are willing to pay the price. If we will surrender our will utterly to Him; if we will tear down every veil that might hide His face, and throw open our whole being to His indwelling and use; if we will cease scheming, planning, devising, and fall back on the absolute care and arrangements of God; if we will learn to reckon on God as absolutely as on any resourceful human friend; if we will dare to believe that God holds Himself responsible for the sustenance and equipment for duty of all who absolutely seek His glory—then ‘Our lives shall be full of sunshine, and the cares that infest the day… shall silently steal away.’”—F. B. Meyer
