Psalm 46:10 New Living Translation
“Be still, and
know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored
throughout the world.”
There is peace to be found in God. The peace that the world offers
is temporary, fleeting, here today and gone tomorrow. We can experience
what Paul refers to in Philippians 4:7 as the “peace that passes all
understanding”. The world knows nothing of it. They are constantly striving
for things never realizing that that which is most important shall always
remain out of their reach. Lasting fulfillment, contentment, peace and
hope will always elude them because they are seeking it in the wrong
places. These things are only found in the One true God, maker of the
heavens and the earth.
There will come a day, unbeknownst to all except God Himself, when time shall
be no more. It will be the end of things as we know them. It makes
no logical sense to the finite mind, yet I have chosen to believe that day is
coming nonetheless. We don’t have to understand something to believe
it. That’s what faith truly is. God will be exalted among the
nations and in all the earth on that final day. Time will be no more and
a new heaven and new earth shall come down.
Being still
is something many of us have difficulty doing.
Peace eludes us. We race thru our
days without a moments rest. One day all time will cease and we will stand
before our Lord. That day is
coming. For those who know this, stay focused and be ready. For those who do not, it’s not too late to seek
the face of God and have your sins washed clean. Ask God to forgive you, seek Him with all
your heart and you will find peace, joy and a wonderful sense of fulfillment
that nothing else this side of heaven can provide. Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing!
