Peace
Added 2023-04-26 11:00:01 +0000 UTCHow readily do we listen to the leading of the Lord? When we hear what he says but disregard his instruction, we may find ourselves wandering from the path of his peace. This peace doesnβt come from undisturbed lives; every one of us will experience loss in this world. We will experience setbacks, and we will sometimes fail. But our peace is not contingent upon our circumstances. It is reliant on Christ within us.
May we, with humble and open hearts, submit ourselves to the leadership of Christ in every way. We read his words, and the Spirit moves within us and speaks, but we practice true wisdom when we live it out. If we exercise the things that we say we believe to be true, then we are true listeners. The peace of God is undisturbed in the one who has nothing to fear and nothing to regret. Even so, each time we fail, marvelous mercy can restore us.
Prince of Peace, you are the one who settles my soul when I can feel the talons of fear gripping my heart. You are my steady foundation and my sure salvation. I trust you, and I follow you, all because I belong to you.
From "Wisdom from Above" written by Brian Simmons with Sara Perry
Proverbs 1:33
The Passion Translation
βThe one who always listens to me will live undisturbed in a heavenly peace.β
