I learned something today as I was reading my Bible. Peace is more of an action, a choice, than it is a state of being. Jesus was called the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), BUT the peace Jesus brought came by way of his own death on the cross. So wouldn't it make sense that in order for us to experience peace, we too must choose to endure a sort of death of ourselves to achieve it? When peace is referred to in these verses below, it's clearly a choice, an action. It's something to be pursued and sought out. You don't just wake up one day and your anxiety and fear are gone. Peace is a choice.
"Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it." -Psalm 34:14
"Make every effort to live in peace" -Hebrews 12:14
"A future awaits those who seek peace" -Psalm 37:37
So how do you "seek peace" when your mind is filled with anxiety or fear or doubt? You choose to crucify your doubts and fears on the cross. You die to yourself and release the death grip you have on your circumstances and your thoughts and actively choose to grip tightly to the Prince of Peace. When you choose to set your mind on Jesus when worry creeps in, peace will win. But it's a choice.
"He will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you."- Isaiah 26:3
Choose peace today....choose Him.
