Joy in Peace


Are you overflowing with peace and joy? You need Christ at your center.

March’s Awakening, Day 9

Joy is peace dancing; peace is joy resting.

 —Author Unknown

Desire joy and thank God for it. Renounce it, if need be, for other’s sake. That’s joy beyond joy.

 —Robert Browning 



You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, Psalm 30:11 NIV 



You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11 NIV 



May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NIV  



            Joy and peace go hand in hand. If you have Christ’s inner peace, then it will be experienced and expressed as joy. If you are always joyful in Christ and all your life, then you will also retain His inner peace. Christ is there to exchange our turmoil and distress, sorrow and pain, and guilt and shame, for His serenity and peace, comfort and joy, and innocence and honor. No matter what our circumstances, with Christ at our center, He promises to fill us with His peace and let us overflow with His joy. Go to the source. Be filled to the brim. Let it overflow from you and overtake all those around you.
