THE SEARCH FOR PEACE

 "Seek peace and strive to attain it." (1 Peter 3:11) "Do not just wish to have a peaceful relationship with God, with men and with yourself,
When Jesus said, "I leave you peace ..." (John 14:27), He was speaking of a special kind of peace, not of worldly peace. This special peace of which Jesus was speaking is that which operates at all times and in all situations.
The believer who is experiencing God's peace through his relationship with Jesus can have peace even in the midst of the storms of life.
1 Peter 3:11 says that we should seek peace, pursue it and strive to achieve it. The word seek means "to run after, to strive ... to desire, to inquire, to require, or to demand." It means requiring something as a vital necessity, yearning or pursuing something.
This verse mentions three areas in which we should seek peace: (1) with God, (2) with men, and (3) with ourselves.
Learn to love peace and sincerely desire it. Seek peace, for without it you will not be able to enjoy the life and blessings of God. The Lord said that if you sought Him with all your heart, you would find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). I believe that if you diligently seek peace with all your heart, you will find what you are looking for.
Speak thus: "I have peace exceeding all understanding. I have peace working in the midst of the storm. "
