Peace (Proverbs 16:7)

The Lord rewards those who are in line with His will.

"When a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him." Proverbs 16:7, Amplified

This verse is so simple put that there is no real digging to be done. Not every verse in the Bible needs a spelunker to go into the depths of its meaning.

When we are walking in the will of the Lord, He gives us peace. This peace in not only internal but external as well. Though king David was a man of blood, his son Solomon had peace for his reign because his ways pleased the Lord at the beginning. In reading the book of Judges, we find that the children of Israel were brought under subjection to a Gentile when they strayed from the Lord. But as they turned their hearts back to the Lord, He caused a judge to rise up and give His people peace.

Peace can only come from God. Walk in the ways of the Lord and He will give you peace. Peace can only come from God. Heed His voice and He will give you peace. Peace can come only from God. Avoid sin and He will give you peace. Please the Lord and He will give you peace. How do we please the Lord? There is no secret to pleasing the Lord; He is not a cryptic God who speaks in riddles. He only wants us to walk in His ways and heed His voice and avoid sin. If there is another way that you can think of that will please the Lord in your life and walk, then do it; please the Lord today.
