God’s Peace

Numbers 5-6; Psalms 22; Acts 26 

“’the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.’”

Numbers 6:26

Peace with God is available through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. He paid the price for our sins, “…the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Peace with God brings his peace into our lives. This deep state of inner rest and peace transforms our thought life, our relationships, and our capacity to sleep at night, and it transforms our health.

Are we at peace?

When we invite the Holy Spirit to lead us, we are like sheep in search of a shepherd. We find the source of peace at the feet of Jesus. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He is our Deliverer, our Shepherd, and our Refuge.

What is God inviting us to surrender to lay down, confess, or accept in exchange for his peace?

“Thank you Lord Jesus, that you give me your peace as I give you my life and all of this day’s challenges, for your glory.”
