Psalm 85, 8 : God Speaks Peace

Let me hear what the Lord will speak
For He will speak peace to His people, to His saints,
But let them not turn back to folly


« What the Lord will speak »…

God speaks peace.

Anything else is not from God.
God’s peace, is what Jesus said he wanted to « be with you »
Not the peace from God, but God himself.
Simply God.

God is peace.
Christ is peace.

Away from God, there is no peace to be found,
Nothing but the old way of suffering,
We’ve all wandered for ages,
Nothing but folly.

In that passage there are supreme instructions,
A heart at peace is a heart filled with God,
This is very direct, straightforward, anything but conceptual,
The features of how you define God,

All the material you project on God
Does not matter the least.
A heart at peace knows God, and does not need to think of itself as ‘knowing God’,
nor does it wish to pretend anything to others.

Maybe others will see,
Maybe they won’t,
It does not change anything.
