The Missing Link to Our Peace and Joy

Are you having a challenge maintaining peace and joy within and around you? Have you been searching for peace? Maybe it is because you are looking for peace and joy in the wrong place! One sure place to secure peace and joy is in your fellowship with God. Everlasting peace can only be found with the prince of Peace (Jesus Christ)

Many people think that money can give them peace and joy. Some think that power will do so, while some think that getting married is the answer. Yet others think that success in their career or business will certainly make their lives peaceful and joyful. The list can go on and on. But many people have discovered that having all these still won’t give them what they deeply desire: peace that passes all understanding and Christian joy full of glory.

 “And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things he possesseth” - Luke 12:15 (KJV, emphasis mine).

What you possess may give you temporary peace or joy, but to enjoy ceaseless flow of these two you need to get to the source, which is God. And fellowship with God will deliver them into your life

Now, I know you are wondering how you are to fellowship with God. It is so simple that many people don’t pay attention to it. To fellowship with God is to spend time in His word and prayer.

Who Is Responsible For Your Peace

Do you desire to enjoy everlasting peace in your life? Peace is an awesome virtue that everybody desires to have; though the world is seriously lacking it presently. This peace is very much available, but the question is who is responsible for securing it in your life today? 

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it - Psalm 34:14 (KJV). 

Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone – Romans 12:18 (NLT)

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee - Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid – John 14:27

It is your personal responsibility to secure peace in your life. You are to seek peace and pursue it. You are the one to ensure that you have peace of mind, that you live in peace with everyone as much as you can.

Many people lack peace, but they would rather blame people for not having it than do anything to acquire it. Some are seriously affected because they lack peace, their world is crumbling before them but they will not take responsibility to secure peace.

The consequences of no peace are very grievous and devastating. People’s relationships are breaking down, their health is failing, their businesses and careers are stagnant, etc. Lack of peace makes life unbearable. Read more...
