The subject of peace reappears this week. Although I understand peace intellectually, it often escapes me in practice. God’s peace sustains no matter what. Why do I allow each thing that comes into my life disturb me? What is it about the slightest difficulty that causes me to lose my serenity?
Moses told Joshua, "The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
If I can remember that the Lord goes ahead, there is no need to fear or allow myself to be robbed of peace. I fail but God does not. If I believe that He never forsakes me, there is no reason to lose peace. I need to practice the discipline of peace.
