Where Are You Searching For Peace?

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” GALATIANS 5:1

 

PONDER THIS

Grace and mercy are linked together, and they're followed by peace. Mercy and peace—that's God's order. You have the peace of God and peace with God because of the grace of God. What is peace? Peace is the result of grace and mercy. When you know grace and receive mercy, you will experience peace.

Some are trying to find peace in a pill. Others look in the bottom of a bottle, trying to drown their troubles, but their troubles can swim. Consider where you have needed peace in your life and the different things you have done to try and take hold of it. You cannot acquire peace on your own. You will never find it until you find the grace and mercy of God.

The delight of grace is that it brings us liberty and freedom. Jesus accomplished what was necessary to bring us grace and mercy, and as a result, we live free and have the peace we have been searching for in Him.

How have you tried to find peace on your own? What happened?

How have you found grace and mercy through Jesus? How have you experienced His peace?

PRACTICE THIS

Consider the areas of your life where there is an absence of peace. Surrender those things to God.
