“…peace …quietness and assurance for ever.”
Isaiah 32.17
That sounds good, “peace … quiet”... in fact - that sounds great!
We often think, “Peace and quiet… ahh!”
Hang on, there’s more, there is the other word, “assurance” – that’s great too. We can have the assurance that everything will be peace and quiet! We can have the assurance that everything will work out for the best!
That’s just a fairy tale!
Nobody can have all of that… can they?
“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness
quietness and assurance for ever.”
Our part: I think that would be to work at doing the right thing ie. “righteousness”! Then believe that God will do His part!
God’s part: “peace… quietness… assurance for ever.”
By God’s grace – let’s work at doing the right things according to the Word of God.
There is no doubt God can, and will, do His part - He will even help me… do my part! This may be a prophetic passage, but there is no reason we can’t claim it and believe it for our lives now!
“peace… quietness… assurance for ever.”
