Do You Want Peace

Do You Want Peace

"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord."
2nd Peter 1:2

We live in a day where everyone wants peace, as their daily life is so full of busyness, that nothing ever seems to settle down. People go from one thing to another and never have time to just sit back and enjoy life. They want it so desperately, yet very few have real peace. The Bible talks much about peace, as a life centered around God brings peace, as the distractions and struggles of life do not affect you, if you put God in control. We have some relatives whose lives has been nothing but chaos for years now, as one problem after another keeps coming up in their lives, which causes worry and frustration, and their whole world seems like it is out of control. We have talked to them through the years about God, and have begged them to accept Jesus, but they haven't made a commitment yet. Their problems grow and multiply daily, and they never seem to be content with anything, and are always looking for something, but never finding any kind of peace. The reason there is so little peace in their lives is because there is so little knowledge of God, as they have not made Jesus the Lord of their lives. The more we know Jesus, the more we will find peace, as the circumstances, desires, emotions, and all the decisions we make will slowly be less of a concern, and worry will disappear as we put our trust and faith in God's hands. The Bible tells us that God will provide all that we need, and as we depend more on this promise, the worries and cares of this world become less. God provides peace to all that seek it.
