A Daily Devotional by Bishop David Bakare
Peace through the Word
Thursday,
22 August
Great peace have they which love
thy law: and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 119:165
SCRIPTURE
FOR TODAY: Psalm 119:165 Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them.
The word of God is the power that a man
needs to be an achiever in life. The text for today is an incredibly great
scripture, great peace have they that love thy law and nothing shall
offend them. This scripture means that for loving the Word of God, a
man is signed up for perpetual peace. Everybody wants peace in his life. The
rich, the poor, the young, the old, the strong and the weak want peace. As a
matter of fact, peace is so important that Jesus came solely for the purpose of
making peace between man and God and He brought peace to the world. Peace is
very vital and desired by all. Now God is saying that by finding the Word of
God, you find peace. Staying with the Word of God is subscribing for a life of
uninterrupted peace, You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is
stayed on You, Because he trusts in You: Isaiah 26:3.
Beloved, that crisis that has broken your
heart and afflicted your life will give way if you can start today and develop
a lifestyle that is dedicated to the Word of God. Take the Word, read it and I
assure you that in reading, loving and living by what you read, you will find
peace. Peace cannot be purchased in the marketplace. There is no amount of
money that you have that can buy you peace. That is why there are rich men
whose lives are devoid of peace. The study of a book in your shelf can impart
peace into your heart and make you full of peace. You do yourself a great
service when you devote yourself to reading that great Book.
Great peace have they that love thy
law and nothing shall offend them: Psalm
119:165. Nothing will offend them. That means nothing can trouble a man that is
filled with the Word of God. There is absolutely nothing that will prevail over
a man that loves the Word of God. Nothing will afflict, disturb or subdue the
man that loves the Word of God. Note that this wonderful promise is not just
for the church goer or the Bible carrier. It is for the lover of the Word. When
reading and living by the Word becomes your desire at all times, you will be at
peace in all aspects of your life. Nothing shall offend, afflict, hurt or
prevail over you. You will always be on top in life because you love the Word
of God, Acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace thereby good shall
come unto thee.... Job 22:21.
