Great Peace Promise
“Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.”—Psalm 119:165 AMPC
How eagerly people seek peace. It is something they pursue in so many ways—through exercise and relaxation, by taking vacations and various forms of escape, through meditation, and various religious exercises.
But God provided a simple formula for receiving His peace: It is the result of loving His law, obeying Him, and following His principles. He promises great peace.
When we love God’s law, we receive great completeness, soundness, welfare, and peace. He promises that we will have stability and internal fortitude. We will be able to depend on Him and His Word in whatever situation we face.
When we fill our minds and hearts with His Word, we constantly are reminded of God and His promises. When we are assaulted by the problems and challenges of life, we can turn to His Word and draw on His strength. We are armed with His principles and have the discernment to realize temptations and avoid them. This can prevent us from being distracted and give us the perspective we need to view our circumstances in context.
The Bible urges us to remember that we gain great peace as we trust in Him. When we love His law, we gain strength to be able to withstand opposition and be victorious in the face of difficulties. God can direct us and give us great peace to keep us joyful, happy, and healthy in all circumstances.
