16 The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert,
his righteousness live in the fertile field.
17 The fruit of that righteousness will be peace;
its effect will be quietness and confidence forever. Isaiah 32:16-17
Do you ever wonder if there will be peace? Certainly with what we see every day, that hope is a long way off and we may never see the peace that you think of when people talk about it. If you look at history, there has always been war, fighting factions, government disputes, leaders who changed the way people think, and people who change the way governments think. It is pretty clear in scripture that God places people in leadership positions and we must respectfully understand that God has a reason for these leaders to be in power. However, peace does not come from these leaders, peace comes from God, and His peace is everlasting. Maybe that is why people cannot find peace, because they are looking for the wrong kind of peace. Maybe we should be looking for the quiet confident peace that God promises. Find your peace in God, and it will truly make a difference in your life.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
