Only God Can Give Peace.

Only God Can Give You Peace.

When we read the Old Testament, we will learn that peace and having peace is a gift from God. Only God can give you peace. Money cannot give you peace, fame cannot give you peace; peace has to come from God.

Leviticus 26:6 King James Version

6.  And I will give peace in the land, and he shall lie down: and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beast out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

Isaiah 45:7 King James Version

7. I form light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

Psalms 4:8 King James Version

8. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou Lord only maketh me dwell in safety

1^st Chronicle 12:18 King James Version

18. Then the spirit came up on Amasa, who was chief of the captains, and he said, thou  we David; and on thy side; thou son of Jesse: peace, peace, be unto thee, and peac will e be to thine helpers; for they God helpeth thee. Then David received them and made them captains of the land.

The point that I am trying to get across is that God gives peace.

1^st Chronicle 22:9 King James Version

9 a. Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest;

If you will notice, rest and peace go together. Solomon’s name meant peaceable. Therefore, when you have rest you have peace.

9b. And I will give him rest from all his enemies’ roundabout: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet unto Israel in his days.

1^st King 2: 33 King James version

33. Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David; and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace forever from the Lord.

Remember, peace is given to us by the Lord.

Isaiah 26:12 King James Version

12. Lord thou will ordain peace for us: for thou also has wrought all our works in us.

Remember, God ordains peace for us. Therefore, when I say God ordains peace, what I am saying is that God orders, prescribed, decrees, appoints and commands that you and I have peace and this is rest for us in 2015.
