The Word Gives Peace
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Psalm 34:4-14 The Voice4 When I needed the Lord, I looked for Him;
I called out to Him, and He heard me and responded.
He came and rescued me from everything that made me so afraid.
5 Look to Him and shine,
so shame will never contort your faces.
6 This poor soul cried, and the Eternal heard me.
He rescued me from my troubles.
7 The messenger of the Eternal God surrounds
everyone who walks with Him and is always there to protect and rescue us.
8 Taste of His goodness; see how wonderful the Eternal truly is.
Anyone who puts trust in Him will be blessed and comforted.
9 Revere the Eternal, you His saints,
for those who worship Him will possess everything important in life.
10 Young lions may grow tired and hungry,
but those intent on knowing the Eternal God will have everything they need. 11 Gather around, children, listen to what I’m saying;
I will teach you how to revere the Eternal.
12 If you love life
and want to live a good, long time,
13 Take care with the things you say.
Don’t lie or spread gossip or talk about improper things.
14 Walk away from the evil things of the world,
and always seek peace and pursue it.
For Reflection
Seek peace and pursue it.
Peace falls upon you when you trust completely in the Lord. These words are easy to say but hard to do. Like most biblical wisdoms, seeking peace is a paradoxical activity. The harder you work toward finding peace,e the more elusive peace becomes.
Here are some clues.
Worship the Lord with all your mind and soul.
Love life.
Be truthful.
Avoid evil.
The most important thing is to put your life in God's hands. Finding peace is a matter of finding one's spiritual center. Focus on that and live to serve others. PrayPray and serve the Lord. Make other-centeredness a living prayer. Pray and make this question an automatic response. "How can I help you?"
