“You will keep him in perfect peace,
 Whose mind is stayed on You,
 Because he trusts in You.”  Isaiah 26:3

And in this time when everything seems to be spinning out of control, we need the peace of God that passes all understanding.

This peace is not a peace that the world knows, but is a gift right from the heart of the Almighty Triune God to His own:
“The LORD will give strength to His people;
 The LORD will bless His people with peace.”  Psalm 29:11

It is a part of the fruit of the Spirit,
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace…”  Galatians 5:22

And Jesus tells us in John 14:27,
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

In fact Ephesians 2:14 tells us,
“He (Christ Jesus) Himself is our peace…”

There are many references to peace in Scripture and I will only state a few.
(I would encourage each of us to make our own study to get a grasp of this awesome gift of God.)

God’s peace is abundant:
“Great peace have those who love Your law,
 And nothing causes them to stumble.”  Psalm 119:165

God’s peace is perfect:
As stated in  Isaiah 26:3 above.

God’s peace passes understanding:
Philippians 4:7,
“And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  

God’s peace is a legacy of Christ and bestowed through Him:
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33
(For the ‘these things’ read Chapters 13; 14; 15; and 16.  This is Jesus’ last discourse with His disciples before His arrest.)

Romans 5:1-2 tells us’
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into the grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”

“For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself having made peace through the blood of His cross…”  Colossians 1:19-20

All these things being so,
“And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which in deed you were called in one body.  And be thankful.  
Let the word of Christ dwell richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.  
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”  
Colossians 3:15-17

Jesus Christ is our peace ‘who has broken down every wall’!
Thank you Holy God for this great, abundant peace that is beyond our comprehension.  Actually, ‘Thank you’ cannot express just how grateful we are in our innermost being.  It is an overwhelming joy!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you! Amen
