We all know that it is God alone who is our peace—although nearly all of us tend to forget it from time to time. We forget it when we begin to neglect our daily visit with God.
Now, when you think that you are too busy for your daily visit, let me ask you frankly, what wonderful thing are you doing that is more important? There is nothing that you could possibly do with that time that would bring you greater benefit than perfect peace. As a matter of fact, if you have something very important and urgent to do, your visit will make that very important thing go through much more easily and successfully.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace… (Job 22:21).
When we start our day with God, we have marked our begriming location and can know where we are throughout the day regardless of our course. Just as a sailor must know his beginning location to know his position at any time, we too must know where our daily journey begins. It is through prayer that God will reveal our true position and help us chart our course through the day to the proper destination. If we finish the day with God, our anchorage will be secure and we will know where we are when we sleep. If we jump into the day without God, we might as well be sailing blind and we can be sure that the seas will be rougher and our destination unknown. By starting and finishing each day in prayer, we will have the peace of knowing where we are, where we are going and that our course is sure. Whether sailing or living, this is the recipe for peace, hope and faith that assures we will arrive at the destination God intends for us.
There is a bumper sticker that sums this up completely. It says’ Know God, know peace…No God, no peace.”
With God as our guide,
