Be Filled With Peace

I have heard many times that the phrase “fear not” is in the Bible 365 times, once for each day of the year. (I researched this and it is not actually true, but similar phrases and intention of not fearing is all throughout the Bible). So ,I was equally curious how many times the word PEACE was in the Bible. I discovered the word ‘peace’ appears 429 times in the Bible across both the Old and New Testaments.

Well, that’s more than one per day!! In our very unstable world peace is needed now more than ever. I’ll take a couple servings of peace a day! I think God knew that troubling times would not only fill the earth but our personal worlds as well. From family issues, financial, illness, anxiety……we need filled with peace.

Galatians 5:22 tells us, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. It is the Holy Spirit that deposits the fruit of peace into our chaotic lives. Just as an apple tree produces apples, a pear tree produces pears, the Holy Spirit also produces fruit.

There is no other source of the fruit of peace my friends. I know we have all looked other places and tried other sources, they all fall short. You truly only need to ask Holy Spirit, and you will receive His fruit of peace.
