“Great
peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble” (Psalm
119:165, NLT).
Peace doesn’t mean everything in your life is at
rest. Peace is knowing rest when everything in your life is not at rest. Child,
my peace rises to each occasion when you allow me to manage the turmoil. Be
still. Be quiet. Quit your striving with your problem. Give it to me. Seek my
peace which surpasses your human understanding. No man—no person—no stress—no
hardship—no problem has the power to destroy my great peace. But you can
destroy it by allowing worry to claim your mind and distractions to rob you of
its promise. You can destroy it by trying to control what only I can control. You
can destroy it by opening your heart to despair and your mind to the enemy who whispers
his lies. However, when you focus on my Word and the love I have for you—when
you surrender all that holds you in bondage to fear, I speak my life into your
very being.
Allow nothing to destroy your faith in my love for
you. Focus your mind on my truth, and rest your heart. Retreat from seeking the
advice of others whose ideas promise peace. Perhaps they have good advice, but
it may not be mine. Seek what I have for you. My advice brings great peace. Never
let others rob you of your peace of heart and mind. Recognize each problem that
arises as a step towards acquiring my great peace. It is real and it lasts in
the face of all opposition. Each obstacle has the power to bring you closer to
its promise.
You have great peace when you love and live what I
instruct. Nothing will make you stumble. When you allow me to guide your
life—when you allow selfishness to be crucified at my altar—when you seek my
righteousness, you receive all of me. Love me with all your being. Love my
Word, and you will discover the power of faith that grants this peace. It
is my gift that calmly holds you no matter what the world throws at you. It is
real, and nothing can destroy it when your heart continually seeks me.
I am your greatest peace. There is no other.
