READ:
ISAIAH 48:12-19
God is the
author of peace. Any violation of His word will get you off the track. The
moment a believer sins, he loses his peace. According to Genesis 3:24, after
God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, He positioned an angel there.
This is very instructive. In an angel has been placed by God to stand in your
way, there is nothing you can do to remove him. Many have prayed and fasted,
yet the obstacle they seek to remove remains there. Perhaps you have commanded
mountains to move but, rather than move, they become bigger. It might do to
find out the cause. If you are not making progress because God is the One
resisting you, you have to do something about it today. Those who put their
trust in God have perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3-4 says: “You will keep him in perfect
peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD
forever, for in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.” When all is
well between you and God and you ask for something, you would know immediately
that the answer will come and you will have peace. Why do many of us lack
peace? Could it be because of what is written in Isaiah 48:17-18? “Thus
says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way you should go. Oh, that you
had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and
your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” There is a difference
between heeding and hearing. If you heed, you will have peace. Some of us have
probably not been listening to the voice of God. But there is no peace for the
wicked, according to Isaiah 48:22: “There is no peace, says the LORD, for the
wicked.” Concerning those who have no relationship with the Lord, the
Bible says: “The way of peace they know not.” There is no peace outside
Christ. Why not plant your feet on the pathway of peace today by giving your
life to Christ.
MEMORIZE:
ISAIAH 48:22 –There is no peace, says the LORD, for the wicked.
