Blessed with Peace

Numbers 17-18; Psalms 29; Mark 4 

“The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders…The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic…The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever. The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.”

Psalm 29: 3, 4, 10, 11

The peace of God in our lives, our homes, and our relationships is a sign of his blessing. The Lord promises peace to his covenant people (Leviticus 26:6; Numbers 6:26). The writer of Hebrews describes this as rest. We enter rest by listening to God’s Word and voice, obeying and responding with faith. The voice of the Lord shakes creation in power, majesty, and glory, yet is also a gentle whisper for those who know him (Kings 19:12, 13). Listening and obeying the Lord brings the blessing of his inner peace to our lives; this then touches the lives of all who know us.

Are we walking in the blessing of God’s peace?

Will we obey and respond with faith as he speaks?

“Lord God, thank you for your living Word, your love, and your peace, for your glory.”
