Psalm 119:165 – WHAT A PROMISE!
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
People are looking for peace today! The trouble is that they usually look in the wrong places. They look for peace through people or circumstances or money. They don’t look to the Lord! Here is a promise for peace that God will keep if we meet His criteria.
GREAT COMPOSURE (or COMFORT or CONSOLATION)
God promises peace. Of course, peace is found in the Lord Jesus Christ! John 14:27, John 16:33, Matthew 11:28
In Isaiah 9:6 He is called “the Prince of Peace”.
GREAT CONDITION
The condition for peace is that a person love God’s Word.
One does not love God’s Word unless less they know and obey God’s Word. Psalm 119:97, Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3
When we obey God’s Word we will:
1. Know Christ as Savior – Romans 5:1
2. Keep our eyes focused on Christ – Isaiah 26:3
3. Commit our needs to God in prayer – Philippians 4:6-7
GREAT CONFIDENCE
The one who loves God’s Word will be a person of confidence. “Nothing shall offend them.” Proverbs 29:25, Proverbs 3:6-6, Isaiah 40:31
