Peace, Quietness, & Assurance

“…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 and 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: Work at doing the Right Thing! That begins and can only continue by being born again through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” - 2 Corinthians 5:21

God’s part:  “peace… quietness… assurance for ever.” There is no doubt God can, and will, do His part - He will even help me do my part – how’s that for better than any fairy tale? (Where do we think they get “their ideas” from anyway?)

Run with patience,
Pastor Tottingham
