THE Christian's heritage is peace. He can have that peace in the midst of the greatest turmoils of this world; peace while strife and contention are around him on every hand; peace while the world is at war. Not only that, but he can be the means of bringing peace to others in such times. When the storm lashed the waters of Galilee, the Saviour lay peacefully sleeping in the tossing boat. He had the peace that passeth understanding; and He imparted it, not only to the elements, but to the hearts of His frightened disciples. The worries and afflictions of the world are like the storm-tossed waters of Galilee. No matter how threatening the billows may be, the Christian's heart may be the citadel of peace. Christ spoke to the raging waters and the howling storm, and they were still. The Christian can, in Christ's name, speak to the storm that is tossing a human soul, and be obeyed. The storm has lost its power to toss the soul, when Christ has spoken peace. "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27. "Let the peace of God rule in your hearts." Col. 3:15. Let it; but remember that the peace of God comes only to the heart that is submitted to the will of God. The cry of "peace and safety" from the lips of the wicked and careless is the cry of delusion. Their peace is not the peace of God—it is not peace. The safety for which they look is not the safety which God guarantees to His children—it is not safety. Their cry is a false one, for it arises from a heart prone to its own desires. The cry of "peace and safety" brings "sudden destruction" upon the criers and the believers in the cry. The "peace of God" comes as a result of righteousness, of obedience, faith, and belief in God's Word. It is a harbinger of heaven, a foretaste of the blessings of the redeemed. Let it "rule in your hearts."
