Great peace

 Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble. ~Psalm 119:165

Peace.  I looked up the biblical definition of peace and here are a few words that were used to describe it.  Completeness or wholeness.  To have harmony in relationship. Fulfillment. Victory over ones enemies.  So what type of peace am I looking for?  The one that fulfills them all and that is peace with God.  When you have peace with God everything else falls into place.  Right relationship, wholeness and completeness. I don’t have to worry about my enemies because the Lord is right there with me.

His word tells us that we will have great peace when we love His law.  His law is not just the do’s and fonts, but rather His word and His will.  When we love His way and choose it over our own great peace we will have.  We won’t stumble because His Word directs our path. It tells us where to place each footstep so that we may dwell in peace.  Obedience of His law brings peace as we surrender to His will and authority. Loving His law is loving Him.

Father, I thank You for the peace that your word brings.  Help us to love your law, your will and your ways so that we may walk in peace with thee.  In Jesus name.  Amen
