Flourishing in Peace - The Faithful Will Find Peace

“Mark the blameless man, observe the upright; for the future of that man is peace.” (Psalm 37:37 NKJV)

    Have you considered that fact that you can be at peace knowing that one day you will be at peace? This is not a “fake it ‘til you make it” idea, quite the opposite. Fully trusting in God, believing that no matter what you are going through, He will strengthen you and help you every step of the way, brings peace.

    My Mom had a phrase that became synonymous with her: “This too shall pass.” I know now that it was said as a reminder to both herself and the person she was speaking with to ‘be at peace, and trust that peace will come.’

    David wrote these words to show that those who are blameless in God’s sight, who walk uprightly in humble obedience, they will find peace. He closes this psalm with even more peace-providing facts for the righteous:

“…the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him.” (Psalm 37:39-40 NKJV)

    These verses remind me of the praise Peter offered to God in 1 Peter 1:3-9, please take the time to read this passage. Our faith is proven and our trust is fortified through various trials and in the end, salvation!

“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good, blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” (Psalm 34:8 NKJV)

    Are you ready to feel at peace while you wait for peace to come? Dig into God’s word – start with the Psalms (31, 34, 40, are all good psalms to meditate on!), read the letter to the Ephesians – fill your mind with all the good God has done, all the blessings He continues to provide, all the promises of help and hope He has promised to those who love Him and faithfully serve Him! 

    Let your peace of mind, your “this too shall pass” mindset, be an example to those who are searching for hope and peace. Point them to God and His way, show them how to lead an upright and blameless life before Him, show them how to walk in peace, fully trusting our glorious God and Father to fulfill all that He has promised!

You can flourish in peace! God will provide! Trust Him and remain faithful to His way!

You can do it! So can I!!
