Live in peace!
Live in peace!
Make “peace” your life motto – practice being at peace with everyone!
Only his gracious presence and tender blessings bring peace, consolation and comfort to our restless and discouraged souls
Psalm 34:11 – 14
11 Come, my children, and listen to me, and I will teach you to fear the Lord.
12 Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous?
13 Then keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies!
14 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
Psalm 34:15 – 22
15 The Lord sees all we do; he watches over his friends day and night. His godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to him.
16 But the Lord has made up his mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth.
17 Yet when holy lovers of God cry out to him with all their hearts, the Lord will hear them and come to rescue them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain, and he is always ready to restore the repentant one.
19 Even when bad things happen to the good and godly ones, the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated by what they face.
20 God will be your bodyguard to protect you when trouble is near. Not one bone will be broken.
21 Evil will cause the death of the wicked, for they hate and persecute the devoted lovers of God. Make no mistake about it: God will hold them guilty and punish them; they will pay the penalty!
22 But the Lord has paid for the freedom of his servants, and he will freely pardon those who love him. He will declare them free and innocent when they turn to hide themselves in him.
