MEMORISE
I create the fruit of the lips;
Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD;
and I will heal him.
Isaiah 57:19
Read
Isaiah 57:19-21
19 I
create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him
that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the
wicked.
Message
Long life
and mercy are two benefits derivable from living a life of holiness. In
addition to these, peace is another dividend of a holy life. A fellow living a
sanctified life enjoys God's peace at an optimum level. If you are saved and
still lack peace, ask God to sanctify you wholly. The moment He does this, you
will begin to enjoy peace that is way beyond human understanding. After
interpreting King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel gave him this piece of advice:
"Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be
acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine
iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy
tranquillity."
Daniel 4:27
While great
peace is available for the upright, there is no peace for the wicked (Isaiah
57:21). There is a user of this devotional, you lost your peace sometime ago
and you have tried everything possible to get it back without success. Your
peace disappeared after you were mean to a particular child of God, and you
made life unbearable for this fellow. If you ask God for forgiveness and make
restitution to this fellow, your peace shall be restored.
Moreover, a
call to holiness is a call to peace. Our God is the Author of peace (1
Corinthians 14:33), and Jesus is declared to be the Prince of Peace (Isaiah
9:6). A father can only give whatever he has to his son. If you have God, you
will definitely have peace. That peace will grow as you live holy. It is
possible to be wealthy and not have peace. It is also possible to be healthy
and lack peace. Peace cannot be bought with money. One of the attributes of
God's kingdom is peace (Romans 14:17). If you therefore want peace, you must
first seek God's kingdom and His righteousness. In Psalm 29:11, God promises to
bless His own with peace. This really means that after God has blessed His
children, He will add peace to it. If you are blessed and no peace is added,
those blessings can transform into a curse at some point. Some people are
"blessed" and yet, sorrow, pain, regret and trouble are added. Such
blessings are already cursed! Do you have the peace of God?
Action Point:
Sin
always brings trouble. If you want peace but you are still living in sin, you
are responsible for your own troubles.
