Today's promise:
God will give you peace
Source
of joy and peace
"Open
my eyes to the wonderful truths in your law.
I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your laws.
Lord, give me your unfailing love, the salvation that you promised me. Then I will have an answer for those who taunt me, for I trust in your word. Do not snatch your word of truth from me, for my only hope is in your laws. I will keep on obeying your lay forever and forever.
May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word. I know, O Lord, that your decisions are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it. Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant. Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your law is my delight.
Those who love your law have great peace and do not stumble."

Knowing the person behind the book
To
own a Bible — to know we have it if we need it — brings a certain measure of
peace. When we actually read and begin to understand it we are better able to
receive peace of mind and heart. And when we apply what God's Word teaches, our
lifestyle actually becomes a fertile place where peace can grow. But when we
truly grow to love this wisdom given to us by its loving author, we have
actually come to put our trust in the person behind the book. The writer of
Psalm 119 grew to love God's law because it revealed who God was. We can rest
assured when we follow the principles that issue from God's great love and
wisdom.
