“We Must Seek Peace And Pursue It”

Psalms 34:12-14

Pursue is defined as to follow in order to overtake, capture, kill; chase; persevere.

If we don't have peace, we don't have happiness. Making peace doesn’t mean avoiding conflict. Peace is something that we are to actively chase after, to follow, and to seek out. Peace, that freedom that we all so long for, is not something that will just show up in our lives; we need to actively seek peace out, to chase peace, to follow peace. John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Seek peace, and pursue it. When we have true peace in God, we’ll also discover that there are other areas where we can pursue peace here on earth; (1) Pursue peace in our relationships. (2) Pursue peace in our work and (3)Pursue peace in our spirit. If we want to get warm, we must stand near the fire; if we want to get wet, we must get into the water. If we want joy, power, peace, eternal life, we must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.

I come by tonight to let you know there’s only one way to have true peace and that’s when we have a relationship with the Lord. God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing. Be bless and I love you!!! JE
