Peace of the Puzzle

By Master Rilwan Daniel Olunlade

Peace is being calm and having no troubles what so ever.  There can be no room for jealousy, envy, bad temper, selfishness, or pride in a soul filled with peace, for all these things are disturbing factors in the heart.

Our sense of peace comes from God. In the Scriptures, we are told not to be anxious or fearful, but rather to trust in God and His Word. Proverbs 3:5 says  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding”.

As much as we want we should try not to feel anxious about the things that weighs heavy on our hearts because it will quickly fade away with the Lord in our lives.  John 14:27 says “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart.

And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. The world cannot give you peace, only the Lord can.



God promises to “keep in perfect peace all who trust in [Him], all whose thoughts are fixed on Him. How perfect is God’s peace you might ask.

Well, God’s peace is perfect in QUALITY. It is not an imperfect peace. It is the peace that calms you down even when things are rough.  God’s peace is perfect in QUANTITY. It meets our exact needs.

God’s peace is perfect in CONSTANCY. It is permanent and forever for as long as we live.

You will have good success this 2017.

Remain blessed.  Shalom.
