GOD IS PEACE (Eph 2:14)
" 'Peace' is My farewell to you, My peace is My gift to you." —John 14:27
Peace is what Jesus left us in His last will and testament. Because of
this, peace has a special significance for those who love Jesus. Peace is
the binding force which unifies the Church, marriages, and families (Eph
4:3). Peace is the guard of our hearts and minds (Phil 4:7). Without
peace, we will be subject to heart-failure and mind-games. Without peace,
our God-given relationships begin to unravel and society begins to
disintegrate.
Zeal to propagate the gospel of peace is our footgear and part of our
spiritual armor (Eph 6:15). Without zeal to proclaim peace, the beautiful
feet (Is 52:7) of Christians remain unprotected. Under these
circumstances, we leave ourselves wide open for Satan to bind our feet,
and in that state we will no longer be free to go to the nations with the
good news of Jesus.
Peace is the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22). Jesus, God Himself, is Peace
(Eph 2:14). Therefore, pray for peace, make peace (Mt 5:9), and adore
Jesus, our Peace.
Prayer: "Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace."
Promise: "We must undergo many trials if we are to enter into the reign of
God." —Acts 14:22
Praise: When feeling her peace rattled, Joan sits quietly in God's
presence until He has restored her serenity.
