Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. Psalm 37:37
Pay attention to the blameless and upright people that you know. Peace is in their future. Why is that? Doesn’t life tend to be stressful for those who maintain a blameless and upright testimony in a corrupt society—especially when dishonest demands are made by those in authority over them? The secret is this—His peace is not dependent on peaceful circumstances, but on the peaceful certainty of His omnipotent presence in our lives. A conscience free of guilt, and conduct firm in goodness make it a joy to live a blameless and upright life. —Kingsley Baehr
Peace, perfect peace—our future all unknown?
Jesus we know and He is on the throne. —Edward H. Bickersteth
