Get involved

“No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.” – Hebrews 12: 11

WE can’t find real inner peace unless we ourselves get personally involved. It’s up to us. We obviously can’t control the world around us but many of our worries are self-inflicted. If we are more willing to confess our own shortcomings in seeking God’s closeness and to be more disciplined in our walk with Him, we can enjoy the priceless gift of His peace of mind and heart (see John 14: 27). God’s discipline is corrective, not cruel. Knowing that Christ is in you brings inner joy and comfort; worldly peace will follow the more we are trained in His righteous ways.
