Psalm 23:2 (NLT) says that God
...lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
That passage does not imply that bad times won't come. Rather, the passage indicates that believing in God leads to a certain kind of spiritual peace. In fact, the Bible makes clear that God is the only path to such spiritual peace. As Jesus says in John 14:27 (NLT),
I am
leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is
a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
So we can't hope to replicate that peace through earthly means. Instead, that peace is a heavenly gift. We don't deserve that gift; we can only accept it. So in our prayers today, let us humbly accept this gift and give thanks to God.
