Do you need PEACE?
A true and genuine peace is one of the fruits of the Spirit. So having or not having peace is not determined by people, conditions or situations.
The peace which comes from God is a stable in our life no matter who we are around. It doesn't matter what our situation is or the condition of the world, we can still have His peace, because His peace passes understanding.
God's Word says that He will keep us in His perfect peace if our mind is stayed on Him. If our mind is stayed on self, people, situations, conditions etc... then we will never experience His true peace.
Romans 12:18 says for us to do all that we can to live in peace "with" everyone. So even when we are "with" and "among" people, whoever they may be, we are to do all that we can to live in peace with them.
Psalm 34:14 says for us to depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. When most quote this verse it is the latter part that they quote and not the former, but the only way a person can seek peace and pursue it, they must first do the former, which is to depart from evil and do good or seeking peace and pursuing it will be in vain.
Peace is also one of the evidences that the Kingdom of God is within us. For the Kingdom of God is Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).
True peace can only come through Christ Jesus by the working power of Holy Spirit in us!
Set your eyes, heart and mind on Jesus and ask God to fill you with "His" peace today.
