(Proverbs 1:33)
But all who listen to me will live in peace; untroubled by fear of harm.
I will never forget the excruciating pain and sorrow that I felt. I couldn't stop crying and moaning with a cry deep down in my gut. I cried that whole night through. The next day my dad, brother and myself went to the mortuary. My dad and brother went inside, but I couldn't face reality. I couldn't face death....the death of my Mother, so I sat in the back seat of the car alone in the deepest sorrow I'd ever experienced. When that "still small voice" (most distinctively) spoke to me....and I listened.
The scripture came to me
"Peace I give to you, not as the world giveth, but as I giveth."
I knew the Lord's voice! And then Jesus said to me >>> "BUT, AS I GIVE IT TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT." And from that moment on, I took the Lord’s "Peace". I embraced the words that He gave me, and I then was at peace within myself. Yes, I still grieved, but it was a different feeling. I was not in agony any longer.
And so this scripture still stands:
"But all who listen to me will live in peace"
