How does the Lord give strength to His people? One of the ways is — He speaks a blessing over us, a blessing of peace. Just imagine the Lord imparting a blessing over you with words such as, “Everything is going to be alright, it’s going to go well with you and you are going to be safe and happy and healthy and prosperous”. That might seem too good to be true and even preposterous, but it is in fact what the Lord wants for His children. Every good thing comes from Him and it is His pleasure to give the kingdom to you. You are the child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Just a brief glance into the Bible shows us enough about heaven to know that, in God’s Kingdom, there is perfect peace. No tears, no pain, no sorrow. What about prosperity? Well, the streets are paved with gold that is purer than the purest gold we have in this world. That explains why the angels proclaimed, “Glory to God in heaven and peace to men on earth” to paraphrase the announcement to the shepherds of the birth of Jesus. And it also helps us understand why Jesus taught us to pray, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” The more things in our life that are like our Father’s Kingdom instead of the kingdoms of this world, the more we experience that blessing of peace.
The more of Jesus you have in your life, in other words, the more you make Jesus Lord of your life, the more you will experience this blessing of peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He therefore has the authority to impart peace. We have been sent out by the Lord with that same authority to impart peace to those who will receive it.
That means, today you can be a blessing; you can impart the peace of God to whosoever will receive it. All of those good things that are a part of God’s Kingdom, Jesus said to pray we would experience them even in this life. You are blessed. Blessed with peace!
