Greetings sister saints!
I hope you are strong in the faith and looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith!
I was just pondering on peace, and quietness, and humility, and simplicity, and contentment.
It is just a picture of what the world is not and of how we are to be in our lives. And sometimes it isn't what the flesh wants either but as in many things we must submit to His ways which are good and best! So I will share a few scriptures on these things in general.
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.1 Timothy 6:6-8
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:Hebrews 12:14
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.1 Timothy 2:1-2
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians 3:12-15
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.Hebrews 13:5-6
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
There's so many more scriptures and so many different angles to ponder on too. We can only have true peace when we are living in all obedience to Him the best we know how and continuing to seek His ways and be led of His Spirit of truth and holiness. Let us keep seeking Him as our first priority. And everything else falls into place under that. May He help us in these perilous times where faith is rare and love is waxing cold. Our redemption draws nearer! Let us be ready for our Lord!
Peace, mercy, and love to my sisters in Christ around the world!
