I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—but let them not turn to folly. Ps 85:8

Promise of Peace

Although peace is the desire of the leaders of the world across, and that of every individual, it is promised only to God’s people. And even there, not everyone who are people of God will receive peace, but only those who listen carefully to His voice and willingly adhere to it’s path. The condition given here is very clear, that is not turning to or following the habitual, foolish and self-willed way, as clearly narrated by the Psalmist; ”I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants—but let them not turn to folly." (Ps 85:8). May we be wise enough not to tread the path selfish folly, but be willing to travel by the command of the Supreme One who assures peace.

 

Abba, Thank You for promising peace to Your people. Let Your Spirit help us hear His voice and walk by that, In Jesus’ Most Wonderful Name, Amen.
