I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalms 4:8 (NKJV)
True peace – that state of inner assurance and settledness against any threat of harm is only found in the Lord.Earthly means like material possessions, money, political power, and military might can’t guarantee real lasting peace because by their earthly corruptible nature they are consumed, destroyed, and broken into and stolen. Matthew 6:19.The Lord Himself is Peace – Judges 6:24; and He is our Peace – Ephesians 2:14. Because the Lord doesn’t change but He is Everlasting, the peace we experience in Him is everlasting. Peace in the Lord is guaranteed because He will never leave us nor forsake us.
