Seek Peace, Pursue Him, Don’t Be Lazy

Wanting to live in peace and seeking peace are two different things. A ‘want’ remains a want until you put it into action. 

A person who seeks peace is on the road to becoming a perfect man. 

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: For the end of that man is peace. (Psalm 37:37)

How to seek peace? How to cultivate peace in your heart?

Peace is one of the many beautiful qualities found in a perfect man. 

Seek Jesus To Receive Peace

Without Jesus, there is no peace because He is the prince of peace. He has a peace that the world cannot give. God sent Jesus to give the perfect peace to man so he can be reconciled with God in Christ Jesus. Jesus came into the world in peace, to provide peace, calling man to the perfect, everlasting peace. 

King Saul attempted to kill King David multiple times. King David never once retaliated and kept his peace. King David died in peace because he always sought God. King Saul died in sin.

PUT YOUR MIND ON GOD'S WORD TO CULTIVATE PEACE 

The Gospel is the good tidings of peace. When we carry the gospel in our hearts daily, we will live it out and share with others. God keeps us in His perfect peace when our minds stay in Him (Isaiah 26:3). 

Pursue Jesus to rest in peace daily. Maranatha, praise God, and amen.
