The Lord gives His people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace. (Psalm 29:11)
In a five day period last week, the stock market went on a roller coaster ride as people watched their investments tank and then rebound ever so slightly. The next presidential election is fifteen months away, and the candidates have already began furiously hitting the campaign trail with one of the first debates already taking place in Iowa. In Cairo, several hundred protesters clashed with Egypt’s riot police adding to the list of mounting violence taking place on the world’s stage. With the start of a new week, here’s to hoping for a little more peace in the days to come…
The above passage from Psalm 29 assures us that true peace can only come from God. Furthermore, peace with God comes from living the way that God wants his people to live. Once we are in a relationship with our loving Father, we must choose to live according to the standards he provides us in his Word.
When we follow God’s instructions on how to live, God strengthens us and blesses us with a peace that is only found in Him!
