Day 29
Numbers 6:22-23, 26 amplified version
''And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the way you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them.....The Lord lift up His approving countenance upon you and give you peace [tranquility of heart and life continually]."
Peace was obviously something God wanted for His people from the beginning. The priests were instructed to pronounce a blessing upon God's people, and that blessing included peace from God.
The psalmist said in Psalm 4:8 that he would lay down in peace and sleep because of God's care for him Psalm 29:11 calls peace a blessing from God that He wills for His people. Psalm 85:8 says God will speak peace to His people. Throughout the Word, it is obvious that true peace is a blessing from God and something He desires for His people to have. Jesus is referred to as the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:6 and the Lord of Peace in I Thessalonians 3:16. Peace is described as part of the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5:22. Romans 14:7 tells us that the kingdom of God is peace.
It is obvious that God wants peace for His people and that He has provided it for us. We must "see" that and prepare to possess it.
I see that God is the God of Peace and wants me to enjoy His peace. I have the peace of God.
