Great Peace

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalm 119:165)

Peace is tranquility of soul that can only be obtained through Jesus Christ as our Savior. Those who love Christ will also love the perfect law of righteousness and the royal law of loving your neighbor as yourself. But look at what else. Nothing shall interfere with the rectitude and felicity of that peace.

But on the opposite side of the coin…..

“Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.” (Psalm 119:155)

Man didn’t know sin until he was given the commandments. But he didn’t know true righteousness either. The devil tempted Jesus with the word. He even twisted one of them and tried to slide it past Him. Jesus responded to the devil reciting scripture. Jesus, our peace, defeated the devil, our turmoil with God’s word, His commandments. Meditate on that for a while.
