PEACE
Galatians 5: 22 - 23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Out of the nine Fruit of the Spirit, I would like to focus on one, PEACE. There are so many people today that are looking for Peace in their lives, but they are looking in all the wrong places for it. Some have looked so long for peace that they may even be asking, "Is there such a thing as peace?" I would answer that question with this, "Which peace are you looking for?"

You see, there are two types of peace, one that is temporary and one that is everlasting. Jesus pointed out in John 14: 27 that there are two types of peace which comes from two different sources. Look at this verse, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

The peace that Jesus gives is the peace that is everlasting, it is fulfilling, it is the peace that calms our hearts and our minds in terrible situations of life. Satan and the World has a peace that it offers, but make sure everyone understands this fact, the peace that satan and the world gives is temporary and it leads to more despair.

There are many examples in the Bible of people that chose the Peace that Satan and the World gives, Lot, King David, Achan, and Elimelech, but how did that peace work for them? It was only temporary peace, which lead to the sorrows of death. The PEACE that Jesus gives is much greater than the peace that the World gives.

Paul said in Philippians 4: 7, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." The Peace of God is beyond any peace that this world can give. It is a peace that even in a time of sorrow and pain, a Child of GOD, that ask for the Peace of God, can have calm, a quietness, a tranquility that surpasses anything this would can imagine!

HOW CAN ONE OBTAIN THE PEACE OF GOD? Read Luke 9: 23 and focus on these three things; deny yourself, take up YOUR cross daily, and follow me. These three are the keys to a Peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus is where one will find REAL PEACE!
