Job 22:21
Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.
There is peace that one gains from things of this world and that peace is extremely inconsistent and very surface level. It lasts for one moment and the next moment it is nowhere to be found. Then there is the peace that comes from God. It is Supernaturally divine and lasts for a life time. The peace of God isn’t one that wavers nor is it one that falls short. It is complete in all ways. When you submit to the Lord your life, your heart, your career, your education, your family, your relationships, and everything in between, your life begins to look different, because His peace begins to mark your life. When everything that concerns you is in the hands of God there is a peace like no other that holds you together.
Picture Christ sleeping in a boat in the middle of a storm, or a person laying under a cave unbothered as thunder rumbles. That is the peace that God gives. One that is beyond understanding and imagination. One that can stand in the middle of the most dangerous storms yet it remains unmoved. When you submit to Him that peace comes over you and you are able to withstand many storms in this life. When you submit to God you will be sleeping in the valley of the shadow of death yet you will be at peace and fear will have no place in your heart. Do not dabble in the temporary peace of this world, submit to God and take on His peace because that is the peace that will take you through this life.
