Finding Peace

How will we find real peace?

The world's peace is not really peace at all. It is only good for peaceful and tranquil times.

World's Peace

God's Peace

The world's peace is calm and supporting circumstances in one's home, heart and world in which one can pursue his or her life goals. God's peace is that confidence and strength coming from the Lord's presence in easy and difficult times so that we can always joyfully accomplish His will for our lives.

This is essentially what Jesus refers to when He tells His disciples the night when He is betrayed that His peace is not like 'the world gives'.

"My peace I give to you; not as the world gives."

The world offers a so–called peace, but it is very different than the Lord's. God's peace is able to handle any outward circumstance.
