PEACE LIKE A RIVER

People long for peace of mind, physical and financial peace, and domestic peace. However, disobedience to God will stop the flow of peace in a Christian's life. 

Isaiah 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then had thy peace been as a river and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.

God's peace is sustained by fresh supplies of grace from the Holy Spirit. When the apostle Paul experienced a trial which he allowed to rob him of peace, The Lord said, "My grace is sufficient for thee."

If God chooses not to remove your problem, He will give you grace to bear it and that brings peace with the trial in your life.

True peace comes when we obey God's commandments. If there is something you are doing that is contrary to God's Word and will, stop doing it. If there is something you are not doing that God's Word and Spirit has commanded you to do, then start doing it. 

When we live in harmony and unity with Jesus the Prince of Peace, we can experience that peace that surpasses all understanding.
