Proverbs 16:7 - FINDING PEACE.

Proverbs 16:7 (NKJV) When a man's ways 
please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at 
peace with him.  

INTRODUCTION

We want other people to like us, and 
sometimes we will do almost anything to win their 
approval. But God tells us to put our energy into 
pleasing him instead. Our effort to be peacemakers 
will usually make us more attractive to those 
around us, even our enemies. But even if it 
doesn't, we haven't lost anything. We are still 
pleasing God, the only one who truly matters. [Life 
Application SB] 

COMMENTARY PEARL

Where Is Peace?
   I know men who would write a check for a 
million dollars if they could find peace. Millions 
are searching for it. But, as we look around, we 
find that there is little personal, domestic, 
social, economic, or political peace anywhere. Why? 
Because we all have the seeds of destruction within 
us. 
   Peace can be experienced only when we 
have received divine pardon - when we have been 
reconciled to God and when we have harmony within, with 
our fellow man, and especially with God. Through 
the blood of the cross, Christ has made peace 
with God for us and is Himself our peace. If by 
faith we accept Him, we are justified by God and 
can realize the inner serenity that can come to 
man through no other means. When Christ enters 
our hearts, we are freed of that haunting sense 
of sin. Cleansed of all feeling of 
contamination and unfitness, we can lift up our heads 
secure in the knowledge that we can look with 
confidence into the face of our fellow men. 
   Have you ever searched for peace in the 
wrong place? [Peace for Each Day by Billy Graham]
