Peace Like a River

When I was around 10 years of age my parents sang gospel music with another couple. Every week we would travel to their house for the practice which seemed to go on and on. I didn't realize at the time what a blessing I was receiving. The old song "Peace Like a River" also contained the word "restoring my soul."

There is something special about a peaceful river. Though the surface of the water is peaceful, there is a powerful strength about the water. Under the surface, the current remains strong year after year. God is like that. He is strong but peaceful. But there are also times when a storm has caused the waters of the river to rage. Then, there is no holding back the destruction the power of the river can do.

There is a time coming when the rage of an angry God will destroy the evil in our world. The storm of His wrath will be poured out upon the devil and his followers. They will be thrown out of the earth and deep into hell where there is a place for them.

Turn to Christ today and receive His peace. It will deliver you from the wrath to come. Enjoy His power and peace. You will be glad you did.
