A Heart at Peace

Scripture:

Proverbs 14:30  "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones".

Observation:

In this passage I see how important it is to have a heart at peace.  Peace is one of the fruit of the Spirit.  It should be part of every Christian's life, but few find it today.  People are worried about everything.  We worry about every little detail because we are envious of the way others are living their lives.  Envy rots our bones, but a heart at peace gives life to the body.

Application:

Peace gives life to the body, envy rots our bones.  We must seek to be at peace.  Godliness with contentment is great gain.  If your bones are rotting within us, we need to do a peace check.  Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the understanding and conviction that God is with us through the conflict and there is really nothing to worry about.  Seek peace and give life to your body.

Prayer:

Lord, let your peace that passes understanding come into my life more and more.  Let me be at peace and let my body profit from it.  I want a full and enjoyable life.  Help me live at peace more and more.  Teach me not to be envious of others.

Yours,
Jeff
