You, Lord, give true peace
to those who depend on you,
because they trust you.
to those who depend on you,
because they trust you.
Isaiah 26:3
We've spent a long time hearing about riots, arguing about politics, people protesting this or that. Then the elections began NOT with "here's what we will do to bring peace" but with "I may be a horrible person, but my opponent is WORSE!" Now that the elections are technically over, the unrest continues.
Then we deal daily with "office politics"...what some call favoritism or 'brown nosing.' It seems that every where you turn, people are unhappy and seeking to convince others to agree with their opinion by taking extreme measures. And during all this unrest and noise, we hear no one speaking of peace.
Peace...TRUE peace is the knowledge that no matter what happens, God is still God and He is in control and loves us! When we focus on THAT, then we will begin to understand peace. You see, peace doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong; peace doesn't mean you're right and I'm wrong. Peace means God's plans for us will be completed in spite of all the fighting and arguing and tantrums and inattention. God is patient. God loves you. God has a plan. God is the One to Trust (It's even on our currency).
Step back from the politics for just one day and focus on God's love for you. And you will begin to sense His peace fill you.
