God's Peace Plan

The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people

with peace. Psalm 29:11

Many of us have an entirely wrong idea about peace. We think it can only be found in the absence of hassles, but that's not the way King David saw it. In this brief psalm, he recounts a few of the wonders of God's power. He describes a violent thunderstorm that breaks over Lebanon, north of Israel, its lightning shattering the sky and trees and its thunder frightening the animals in the forest. Finally, David reminds us that God showed the power of His hand and His righteous judgment against sin by sending the flood to destroy the entire population except for Noah and his family. Out of this power and majesty, God gives His people strength and peace. A heart at rest doesn't come only from the absence of problems. Far more significantly, God's peace can be ours any time we focus on His greatness, His involvement with His creation, and His tender care. With that perception, we can experience God's peace even in the middle of the storms of life. That's God's peace plan. Our part is to fill our minds with the wonder of His strength, and as our faith grows, so will our sense of God's peace.

I just wanted to share this as I thought this was an awesome point to how our life needs to focus entirely on God!
