Those who love Your
law have great peace,
And nothing causes them to stumble.
What does it mean to have great peace? In Strong’s
Concordance, the word “great” in Psalm 119:165 is translated as the Hebrew word
rab: it means abundant in quantity, size, age, number, rank, or quality. So, there
is plenty of peace available for us! There’s so much, in fact, that our sense
of peace can outrank every other feeling and emotion.
Galatians 5:22 reminds us that one of the qualities of the
Holy Spirit is peace. If our lives are filled with the Spirit of Christ, then His
peace will permeate us. Life’s trials will lose the power to generate a spirit
of despair, because there is a greater power at work in us: the Spirit of peace.
In the presence of great peace, fear cannot establish a foothold. We who love the law of the Lord are positioned
to receive this wonderful gift… God’s great peace, in great measure, for His
great glory.
Lord God, today we declare our love for Your
law. Thank You for allowing us to experience great peace. Please let it
overflow from our lives into the lives of everyone we meet. In Jesus’s
name we pray. Amen.
