The Peace of God

There is a peace born of God. It is a condition, not a feeling or fancy. It comes because the soul is yielded wholly to God. The arms of its warfare are grounded, and the government of heaven is acknowledged. In that comes peace, harmony with God. The erstwhile rebellious soul may not be able at once to adjust itself to the new condition; it is a learner. It almost at times mistakes the discords of evil for the concords of good, and conscience is troubled. But peace abides. The soul knows that it has surrendered to all that it sees and knows of God, and in Him it rests as a weary bird from her wanderings. Winds may blow, storms may howl, sickness and pain and even death may come, the peace abides, and walking in that peace the eternal harmony of heaven grows more ravishing and entrancing, the peace deeper and more abundant. This is “the peace of God which passeth all understanding.”
