Ways of Peace

This is what the Lord , your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who leads you in the way you should go. If only you had paid attention to My commands. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Isaiah 48:17‭-‬18 HCSB

The Lord is at work in our lives leading us to His planned fulfillment. As we yeild we are blessed. If we stubbornly resist we lose the joy and peace that could be ours.

Listening instead to fear, anxiety or even arrogance we destroy our chances of living in the river of God. Only in His river is peace and contentment. Fear of the unknown causes us to balk and resist. Yet Jesus Himself said: "take My yoke upon You, learn from Me. I am meek and humble, and you will find rest for your soul". Matthew 11.29

Yeilding and submitting in faith to peace, how bad could that be? Why choose fear and anxiety? What horrible taskmasters!
Choose Life. Choose peace! Amen!
