The Secret to Great Peace

Psalm 119:165 - "Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble."

This verse may very well be one of the most powerful verses in the entire Bible. The teaching is revolutionary. It frees the anxious and gives direction to those who need it. It contains the secret to the elusive quality of peace. David tells us that if we want peace, we need to love the law of the Lord.

David's statement in this verse is declarative. Those who love God's law not only have peace, but they have it in abudndance! Want great peace? Live the way that God has called you to live.

There is a second part that I love in this verse. It's the promise in the end that those who truly love the law of God will never stumble. What a beautiful promise! How would you like to go through your life without stumbling? I think we all would. But, that kind of walk comes with a price, and the price is loving the law of God.

I hope you'll take time today to consider these great promises. God is so good. His law is good. He is worth giving our all to. Let Him have you.

Dear God,

We want to love Your law. We want to love Your Word. Help us to know how to love You more. Help us to follow You no matter what the world throws our way.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
