Peace In A Troubled World

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.  Colossians 3:15

Sometimes, no matter how hard we search for peace, it eludes us. There is turmoil in our homes, trouble with our neighbors, disagreements between spouses, problems with co-workers,  fights with our children and on and on. God is the author of peace and tranquility.  Through him alone can we find perfect peace. In Galatians 5: 15, it says, "But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another."  It is human nature to be self-seeking and impatient with others at times. God's ultimate goal  however, is that we love each other as we love ourselves.
