In the Word … the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:26 An artist was asked to paint a picture that would express the idea of peace. The finished painting showed a roaring waterfall with a large tree hanging over it. On a limb of that tree, bending over the churning waters and almost touched by the rising spray, a sparrow calmly sat on her nest. Amid the roar and danger of the waterfall, the tiny bird was at peace. God gives a special kind of peace. Like that bird, we are surrounded by danger and troubles. But in the middle of all lifes turmoil the Lord gives us peace. We can be at rest. This is a special peace that only God can give. The original Hebrew language uses the singular for you. Gods peace is not just for you as a large group of people. Its for you as a priceless individual. You might be a woman or a man, dark-skinned or light, living in America or across the seas. It doesnt matter; you can still have peace. Gods peace is for you! Best of all it is a peace that will last – yes, even into eternity. Walking with my Lord Dear Jesus, I want the peace which no person or circumstance can take from me. Call me finally into Your eternal peace. In Your name I pray. Amen. Mustard Seed: Living in Faith.
