The Way of Peace

Good Morning,

Isaiah 32:17 “…the way of peace…”

Sadly, even in a nation so advanced, most people have no clue where to find peace.  We are seventy years into a nation that tossed God, prayer, and the Bible out of their schools, public arena, and politics.  I would like to ask, “How is it going?”  

Isaiah 32:17 “And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.”

That’s not too hard to figure out.  If we bring righteousness back into our lives, peace, quietness, and assurance will follow.  Why so few people have any strong beliefs?  Why are so few people sure of their gender?  The majority are living godless lives; they have tossed out the ONE thing that shows truth and security – THE BIBLE.

Righteousness produces peace, rest, quietness, and assurance.

Peace, quietness, and assurance come from righteousness. Our nation’s turmoil is a byproduct of unrighteous living.  The confusion in our churches is a result of men being afraid to preach the righteousness of God.  The priest in the Old Testament was to show what was righteous and what was wicked.  The religious leader was to “make a difference.”  Nowadays, it seems that religious leaders are doing all in their power to make wrong okay, and blur the difference between right and wrong – in turn making NOTHING WRONG.

If you want peace in your home, strive to create a more righteous environment. Decide what is righteous and unrighteous; do not allow the unrighteous activities into your house.   Make sure there are no unrighteousness video games, no unrighteousness movies, no unrighteous actions taking place.  Righteousness is the doorway whereby peace, quietness, and assurance enters your home and church.   Lift it up!
