PEACE
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
While we do have trustworthy peace from God, it does not eliminate harm in this earth-life. However, the peace we receive from being in Christ does allow us to live free from the fear of harm. What else but the divine peace of God could cause Paul to write, “O death where is your victory? O death where is your sting?” (1 Cor. 15:55).

WORD
But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm. Proverbs 1:33
THOUGHT
The goal of Proverbs is revealed in the first few verses: “Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair” (Prov. 1:3). Then Proverbs 1:33 unveils the promise that comes with following the book’s wisdom and guidance, which is to “live in peace.” Oh, what it would be like to be a people living in true peace! Jesus said his peace was not like the anemic, temporal versions from worldly sources3 : the empty promises of politicians, the half-hearted truces amongst feuding families, the fleeting peace found in financial gain. His peace is supported by the promises of his Father’s kingdom; it is a grounded peace—one that cannot be stolen, one we can rest in. While we do have trustworthy peace from God, it does not eliminate harm in this earth-life. However, the peace we receive from being in Christ does allow us to live free from the fear of harm. What else but the divine peace of God could cause Paul to write, “O death where is your victory? O death where is your sting?” (1 Cor. 15:55). God’s peace is beyond our ability to comprehend, yet we are invited to abide in him and live within it. In Christ, not even death can be victorious over us—a truth that frees us to live an abundant, radical life of obedience to God’s call and kingdom work.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, without you, all resemblance of peace is a mere shadow. But I can rest knowing you will always provide the level of peace equal to the task that you lead me into. Guide me into your will, and give me the faith to live a life of devout obedience to what you would ask of me. Amen.
Don’t let us yield to temptation.
