The word peace simply means freedom from war or freedom from anxiety. I believe we all know the meaning of the word "WAR" . My dear friends, how have you being living your lives in the past years? Are you the kind of person that when people come in contact with you, they tend to avoid you at the long run? Or are you the type of person that when you walk pass the streets, people try as much as possible to distant themselves from you?
Are you a troublesome person? one who is always at war with others. have you ever thought of being at peace for once?
Lets look at what the scriptures says about seeking peace. psalm 34:14 "Turn from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it"
What are those things you seem to be anxious about? could it be power, riches, relationship, possessions, positions, family etc. Some of Us believe We have to fight always in order to achieve Our desires. No! Hold your peace and let Your God fight for You. You must not fight in order to get to Your destination in life. You dont need to allow anxiety to occupy the better part of your mind
The bible have already asked us to seek peace and also pursue it. Go to God in prayers and ask for all you need of Him and He will give unto You according to His riches in glory. Do you believe that the moment You stop fighting and stop being anxious over every little thing and seek peace, Your life will drastically turn around for good. Proverb 14:30" A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones (NIV).
Dear friends, let your heart be at peace at all times because, God has called Us to live in peace. So peace is not an optional thing as you and I saw in the previous scripture psalm 34:14. That was why the bible asked us to pursue it. In other words, go after it in a haste.
As this year begins, I will urge you all to seek peace . Forgive those who have wronged you in the years past and make peace with them. Quit bearing those grudges in your heart, remeber the scriptures said, an envious heart rottens the bones.
sometimes some of us might just be wondering why the rate of heart related health problems are at the increase in today's world. The reason is because, the human heart is so troubled with different thoughts and most of these thoughts are not edifying to our health at all.
In this year 2014, i pray our hearts be transformed totally into a heart of peace. Amen.
