Where Does Peace Come From?
(Ps. 91:1~7)

The Bible says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” (Prov. 4:23) Peace of heart serves as the basis for our every life. Individuals need to have peace in their hearts so that they form happy families and that societies and countries can develop and prosper.

1. Peace comes from God
1) Fear and anxiety of man stemmed from Adam’s sin. Human beings that have left God cannot gain peace anywhere. True peace comes only from God. Therefore, to gain peace, we must first believe in Jesus and be in harmony with God.
2) Those who believe in God and rely on Him can enjoy peace no matter what kind of situations they face. This is because God who is our refuge and our fortress is always with us and He helps us.

2. March with God
1) In order for us to live by enjoying peace, we must always believe in God and rely on Him.
2) If we speak, following what we see when encountered with hardships, it means we have no faith. Speaking with faith is not to speak by looking at the present, but to speak by looking at what will happen in the future. When we make declarations with our spoken words by having dreams and hopes in our hearts, miracles come.

3. Pray to God
1) To gain peace of heart, we must go to God and pray. We must think about who God who we believe in is and look to Him in our hearts. And we must believe in God, pray to God for His protection and confess this with our spoken words.
2) God is our fortress. Even if man’s castle collapses, the castle of God will never collapse. Thus, people who rely on God and pray will not be defeated.

Conclusion
God’s protection for us when we take the rough path called life is a blessing that cannot be compared with anything in this world. If we look to God and move forward with prayer, God will give us overflowing peace in our hearts and a life where we may enjoy good health and that all may go well with us, even as our souls are getting along well.
