How can we maintain our peace in this world full of trouble? The Bible clearly tells us to “follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no eyes shall see the Lord.” - Hebrews 12:14.
Does this then mean that people would follow you with peace at all times? Definitely not, as a matter of fact, that is the time that the enemy stirs up hate, negative perceptions, and stormy situations against you.
Mark 4:37 says, “And there arose a storm against them.” Even with Jesus on the boat the storm came.
Romans 12:17-18, Paul through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote saying, “recompense to no man evil for evil.
Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” In one of the beatitudes that our Lord Himself teaches in Matthew 5:9- “blessed are the peace makers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
“Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” - Romans 5:1. The conclusion of the whole matter brethren is that, if we want to continue to enjoy the peace which only He alone can give, we must maintain our good standing with God, and also do everything possible to follow peace with all men.
From this moment onward we will begin to enjoy peace, on every side, in Jesus Name. Amen.
You will have good success this 2021.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
