"Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace." Psalm 37:37
When we have peace, we have a foundation. When we are at peace, we realize that our foundation is in Christ! And when we are rooted and grounded in Him, blessings and fruitfulness flow:
Peace produces prosperity (3 John 1:2)
Peace produces health (Jeremiah 33:6)
Peace produces joy (Romans 15:13)
Peace produces good fruit. Why? Because the fruit of the Spirit is love (Galatians 5:22). And if we have love, then we won't have fear or anxiety (1 John 4:18). If we don't have fear or anxiety, then we will be open to receive from God His peace.
Peace is a force and a flow, and it carries us onwards into the future. Peace establishes us in the spiritual world as a force of God that cannot be shaken. He Himself is our peace (Ephesians 2:14), and He himself makes our path perfect (2 Samuel 22:33)!
And we have peace by relaxing in the Lord. We have peace by focusing on God. We have peace by reading and resting in His promises. When the word becomes flesh, that's when we have peace (John 1:14). And that happened over 2,000 years ago! So we just need to realize this, and then apply it to our own lives. When we experience the Spirit of Jesus for ourselves, then we will find a peace that lasts.
