Strength and Peace

"The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace."
- Psalm 29:11

I find this chapter fascinating.  The chapter starts out with saying ascribe to the Lord:  glory, strength, glory due his name and it says "worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness."  It then goes on to describe the Lord and ends with this verse.

What I find fascinating about this verse if the fact that David states the Lord gives strength to his people and blesses his people with peace.  It doesn't say, the Lord gives strength to his people and no problems or challenges, or peace only in the good times.  It simply says that the Lord blesses his people with peace.

So God gives us strength and blesses us with peace.  Notice that is really all we need to get through any situation no matter how hard?  God doesn't promise a lack of trials and hardships but gives strength and peace through them.  This is a good reminder that we really have all we need through God no matter what we go through.

Thought for the Day:  Will we allow God's strength and peace to be enough for us?
