Shiloh Baptist Church sings “Peace Be Still.”
Peace!
Col 3:15 (KJV)
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Peace is priceless. It is joy and calmness. It is balance in a world where unbalance is volcanic. True peace is more than a feeling. It is a perspective: our world and experiences as seen through the eyes of God. When God sees, He sees through the eyes of eternity. Most of the things that steal our peace are things that are attached to time: deadlines, penalties and losses. But God supersedes time. The perfect wisdom of God sees that which is to come. It accounts for which losses must occur in order to make room for more perfect things, prevent harm, or teach an essential lesson that we will not learn any other way.

The Lord knows how to make all things work together for our good. In our imperfect mind and stony hearts lay the sins of doubt and ignorance: We doubt that God can guide and protect us. God is able to make our hearts fertile ground for seeds of joy and peace. Peace allows you to fearlessly see the hand that the Lord has dealt you (and at times, the hand you have dealt yourself), and be thankful for the opportunities and lessons learned. Too well acquainted with evil, we doubt the eternal knowledge and power of Almighty God, which causes us to lose our peace.
The peace of God can permeate our lives like the brightest sunshine, if we would but tear down the dark curtains of doubt and despair. Friend, you need not be discouraged. Look up and live…in peace. It is written:
Phil 4:6-7 (KJV)
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
