Protect our peace:  It is vital in the day we live to learn how to protect our peace. Our peace was purchased at the cross.

This powerful scripture reminds us of the price Jesus paid on the cross for our salvation, healing and peace.

So often, the focus of this scripture is placed on salvation and healing and rightly so. But our peace was also purchased on the cross and sometimes we overlook this important revelation.

The question here is that do we live with the same level of conviction that our peace was paid for at the cross? Just as our healing was paid for, our peace was also paid for by the death of Jesus Christ.

It is crucial to remember that there is a battle for our peace. The enemy will do everything he can to steal our peace, knowing the worth God has placed on it.

The peace that Jesus gives us is not like the peace the world gives (John 14:27) “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” It is a peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that can only come from Him (Philippians 4:7) “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Spending time in the word of God and in His presence regularly will build our awareness of the peace He has already given to us. Aligning our thoughts with His, will clear out the chaos and confusion that often surrounds us. We must remember that we are the steward of peace in our life and we must actively protect our peace. We may not be able to control the chaos around us, but we can control our inner world through the fruit of the spirit. We can take back our peace which we may have unknowingly given away.

Jesus said John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” This Scripture shows that God’s peace will always triumph over the world’s version of peace because it is Himself, the prince of peace.

Continue to pursue peace just as we would pursue healing.
