Psalm 119:165 - A Formula For Peace.
Psalm 119:165 (NIV) Great peace have they
who love your law, and nothing can make them
stumble.
Psalm 119:165 (CEV) You give peace of mind
to all who love your Law. Nothing can make them
fall.
INTRODUCTION
Modern society longs for peace of mind. Here
is clear-cut instruction on how to attain this:
if we love God and obey his laws, we will have
"great peace." [Life Application SB]
The only power that can create or perpetuate
true peace is the grace of Christ. When this is
implanted in the heart, it will cast out the evil
passions that cause strife and dissension. DA302
COMMENTARY PEARL
God has a plan for peace, and it is found
in His Son, whom the Bible calls the "Prince of
Peace" (Isa. 9:6). But we have rejected God's plan.
Wars still ravage our world - and our lives. Why?
Jesus said the problem is within us: "Out of the
heart ... proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,
fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness,
deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride,
foolishness" (Mark 7:21-22). What a list! Our real war is
a rebellion against God - and it brings
unending misery.
But God longs to see this rebellion
cease. That is why Christ came. By His death He
provided the way for us to be reconciled to God. And
when we have peace with God, we have peace in our
hearts - and peace with each other. This happens as
we repent and receive Christ. The war is over,
for God extends a peace treaty to all who come
to Christ.
And God promises perfect peace to those
whose minds are fixed on him. Who doesn't desire
perfect peace? If we are focused on God and His
word, no financial woe, health crisis, or family
drama will cause us to stubble. [Hope for Each
Day by Billy Graham]
