By Ashley Thomas When you think about peace, what thoughts come to your mind? Maybe you see yourself in a quiet spot, no distractions away from constant agitation. Or maybe you see peace as a place for a better world - a place where people could live in harmony and unison. Perhaps, you think about peace as being at ease with yourself, free from the past and optimistic about the future. Many today say that this peace is truly a prized commodity. Unless you have it, you really have nothing. While it is true that peace is something we need to experience, finding peace is a never ending struggle, unless you understand scripture. The Bible talks about peace, as it regards to these two areas peace with God and the peace of God - without this foundational understanding- peace can never be found. For the child of God it is important that we have peace with God. This peace simply means that we are reconciled to God. Once were enemies on account of sin, but now we have been reconciled through His shed blood on the Cross. The one who has this peace, does not have to sorrow over sin and be condemned by it - He is a new creation. Old things have passed away and now all things are made new. The peace of God is a very important grace needed for the child of God. This is peace unlike that of the world. Peace in the ideology of the world is, having tranquility, being in harmony and the absence of conflict. That might sound very nice and attractive, but the truth is that in 6000 years of the earths history, it has never succeeded. The world can only "Imagine" they cannot know. The peace of God is that which surpasses all understanding for God is far more knowledgeable than we are.You look at your situation and might see no way through, but for God nothing is impossible. The peace of God is afforded to the one who has truly understood that God is in absolute control of all things. He says, " My peace I give to you not as the world gives -let not your heart be troubled.." John 14:27 Are you in need of peace today? Do you know that God gives peace to those who ask? If you are troubled and anxious over particular matters, allow God in your life today - let Him fill you with peace and may your heart and minded be guarded in Christ Jesus. Amen!
