1 Kings 18:1-46; Jeremiah 30:1-24; Hebrews 1:1-14
Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time. Ezra 7:12
“Peace, and at such a time”—surely needful in these days of tumult and confusion. Once the individual has peace with God, he is able to enjoy the peace of God protecting both his heart (affections) and mind (thought life) in spite of the dramatic failures of the culture around him. —Wm. H. Gustafson
While I hear life’s rugged billows,
Peace, peace is mine!
Why suspend my harp on willows,
Peace, peace is mine! —J. Denham Smith
