When asked what they wanted to see changed in the world, one of the top answers of pageant participants everywhere used to be world peace. Now the answers are more varied, but they all still revolve around having civility and more advocacy for different marginalized groups.
So what is it about peace that we crave and why can’t we seem to find it as a society? It is no surprise that collective so many people live their lives as far from God as possible.
When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, it is written in the Bible that He prayed and as heaven opened up, the Holy Spirit descended on Him like a dove.
Today, the dove with an olive branch in its mouth a sign for peace. So it only stands to reason that living without the Holy Spirit in your life will bring you anything but peace.
To have peace, the only peace that can bring you true calm and rest, you have to be able to rest in God. If you are living your life in busyness and total chaos and stress, maybe it’s time to really accept what God did for you.
Realize that His Spirit living inside of you brings peace. All you have to do is accept the sacrifice of His Son and commit your life to carrying out His will for you.
It’s that easy! Then when you pray, read your Bible, or are fellowshipping with other believers, He will give you such peace that our human minds cannot even fully comprehend.
Are you living with the world’s external idea of peace or the peace of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you?
