Isaiah 54:10 “The mountains may be taken away and the hills make sake but my loving-kindness will not be taken from you. My agreement of peace will not be shaken…”
Luke 1:78-79 “Because the heart of our God is full of loving-kindness for us, a light from heaven will shine on us. It will give light to those who live in darkness and are under the shadow of death. It will lead our feet in the way of peace.”
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not worry. Learn to pray about everything. Give thanks to God as you ask Him for what you need. The peace of God is much greater than the human mind can understand. This peace will keep your hearts and minds though Christ Jesus.”
Peace, as defined by Priscilla Shirer, is the “deep, inner, eternal stability the believer possesses by Virtue of Relationship with Jesus that is not subject to external circumstances. It is also the quality that enables us to live harmoniously with others.” This is not a peace that is easily defined or even to explain to a nonbeliever, but it can easily be displayed.
Have you ever seen a person who seems to have the world falling apart around them, but yet they seem to have a “supernatural power” for continuing to display a beautiful “deep-seated peace and confidence” that can only be founded by a relationship with Him? Many of us reading this today, know of someone in our own school who have displayed this peace. She fights a battle that seems to beat her down continuously, but is always smiling and gracious in all her actions. She has that peace. Even on her toughest days, she kept displaying that peace.
When in the midst of what seems to be the worst, if we are anchored in our relationship, he keeps us from crumbling. He will respond by activating His peace within us. This peace will “not only guard but also guide us by helping us.”
