The Path to Peace

True peace is not merely the absence of trouble or having everything we want.  You can't get it by simply going to church or trying to do the right thing. (Been there, tried that, right?)

True peace is internal, not external and is found in a Person...not places or things.  But we don't like that answer because we are men of action and want to know what we can DO to achieve peace.

Here's what we can do:

Pursue God.
      Whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God
      exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently]
      seek Him. ~Hebrews 11:6 (AMP)

Exalt God.
      Lord, you are my God;
          I will exalt you and praise your name,
         for in perfect faithfulness
          you have done wonderful things. ~ Isaiah 25:1
Abide in Him.
      Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself
      unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide
      in Me. ~Jesus Christ, John 15:4 (NASB)

Commit our ways to Him.
      Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him to help you do it,
      and he will. ~ Psalm 37:5 (TLB)

Entrust the results to God.
      You will keep in perfect peace
          those whose minds are steadfast,
          because they trust in you. ~ Isaiah 26:3
