The Psalmist writes, "Great peace have they which love your law; and nothing shall offend them." (Psalm 119:165)
How do they obtain this peace? The Saviour said to His disciples, "Peace I leave with you; my peace give I unto you." (John 14:27)
He gives to His followers the peace that He has himself. They have but to take it, according to the exhortation, "Let the peace of God rule in your hearts." (Colossians 3:15)
The only obstacle to this will be some other ruler in the heart, namely, self. Where self rules, there will not be peace; but the peace of God will rule wherever it is let in.
Being God's peace, it has in it His power and His joy. It is infinite, and so "passes all understanding, [and it will] keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)
That which controls the mind, will control the body. So there are no persons in the world so peaceful and so truly keepers of the peace, as Christians.--Present Truth, July 4, 1895--Psalm 119:165.
