“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:”
David
prayed for this peace. There was a brief time of peace during his son
Solomon’s reign, but the only time there will be peace in the earthly
Jerusalem will be during the Millennium. Then of course later there
will be a New Jerusalem with perfect peace.
“Peace be within you.”
This is available to all who have the indwellment of the Holy Spirit.
“Peace” according to Hebrew Word Pictures is “to destroy the
authority that causes chaos”. In other words, to have peace within
ourselves, we must destroy any and all authority that Satan may have in
our lives.
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!”
Living
in unity with brothers and sisters in Christ does not mean we will
all agree on everything but we have unity in purpose, unity in Jesus
Christ.
Psalm 135 gives a description of idols. Those who worship idols are just like the idols themselves…blind, deaf, and lifeless.
Those
who worship the Lord then must be just the opposite…eyes open and
seeing, ears listening and understanding, and with an abundant life
that never ends. How wonderful is that!
