The work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever.” Only when the soul attains this calm, can there be true spiritual work done, and mind and soul and body be strong to conquer and bear all things.
Peace is the result of righteousness. There is no peace in wrong doing, but if we live the way God wants us to live, quietness and assurance follow. Assurance is that calmness born of a deep certainty of God’s strangth available to us and His power to love and guard us from all harm and wrong doing.
Prayer for the day…
I pray that I may attain a state of true calmness. I pray that I may
live in quietness and peace.
