There is power in peace

'The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace.' James 3:18 NKJV

Satan knows that God's word can only be received by a heart and mind that are at peace, so he will do everything he can to keep you upset. He loves it when you get into an argument just before church and spend the entire service feeling bad. That's why you must do whatever it takes to keep your peace.

There is power in peace! If the devil can't get you upset, he has no power over you. He only 'gains' control when you 'lose it'. He keeps you upset in order to steal your peace, confuse you and make you run in circles. Don't let him do it! Next time you get worked up about some issue, stop and ask yourself, 'What's the enemy trying to do here? If I give in to these emotions, what will the result be?' When you're stressed out, you lose your joy. And when you lose your joy, you lose your strength, because 'the joy of the Lord is your strength' (Nehemiah 8:10 NKJV). So it's essential that you exercise self-control and try to keep your peace.

The Bible says, 'The wisdom that is from above is...peaceable' (James 3:17 NKJV). Another Bible version says, 'But the wisdom that comes from Heaven is first of all pure and full of quiet gentleness...peace-loving and courteous. It allows discussion and is willing to yield to others; it is full of mercy and good deeds. It is wholehearted and straightforward and sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of goodness' (James 3:17-18 TLB). Getting along with others can be hard work, but it's worth it to have peace..

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Hard Times May Come, But He’s There With Us Through Them All
Though we aren’t promised an easy life, we are told that Christ will be there with us when we believe in Him, that he won’t give us more than we can handle with His help, and even our hard times can be used to glorify God.

2 Corinthians 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.

Philippians 4: 12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation . . . . I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

1 Peter 5: 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

Hebrews 4:16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Deuteronomy 31:6,8 Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.

Strength In Christ Our Lord And Savior
As the verses above illustrate, we’re told to call on Jesus Christ, and that he will hear us and give us strength, hope and a grace sufficient to carry us through. He will be our ever present help when we’re in need, and he can give us a peace that passes all understanding. For me that’s extremely encouraging.
