A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 120

A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 120
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

I am for peace; But when I speak, they are for war (Psalm 120:7).

 
The atmosphere of heaven is peace. God is the God of peace, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the Holy Spirit is the Presence of Peace. Peace is an amazing reality that can rule our lives. What a blessing it is to be set free from the enemies’ camp of turmoil confusion, chaos, disorder, contention and strife.
 
The contrast between the friends and enemies of peace couldn’t be more clearly presented than the following two Scriptures:
 
“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked” (Isaiah 48:22).
 
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV).
 
"The peace of God"... This is so great a blessing, so real a blessing, so precious a blessing, that it must be known experimentally to be entered into, for it passes all understanding. No anxiety ought to be found in the believer. Great, many, and varied may be our trials, our afflictions, our difficulties-and yet there should be no anxiety under any circumstances, because we have a Father in heaven who is almighty, who loves His children as He loves His only begotten Son, and whose very joy and delight it is to succor and help them at all times and under all circumstances.”-George Muller 
 
Prayer of Peace
 
Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are the Prince of Peace and that You have promised to give me Your peace. I receive Your peace, the peace that passes all understanding, the peace that assures me of Your presence, the peace that confirms Your love, the peace that guards my every thought and each emotion.
 
Thank You, that You have come, not to trouble me, but to give me Your rest; not to confuse me, but to give me clarity; not to bind me, but to free me; not to stress me, but to quiet me. Thank You for a peace that endures the trial, overcomes the battle, conquers the foe, and keeps me steady through the storm.
 
Thank You, Lord, for complete peace, for perfect peace, for a peace that keeps my heart from being troubled. Come now and fill me with Your peace. Thank You for the perfect peace that comes when I put my trust in You. Let it wash over me and flood my innermost being. Show me the ways of peace, keep me in the paths of peace, guide me in the decisions that lead to peace. Jesus, be my peace today.
 
Insight: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV).
