Job 22:21-30
(21) "Agree with God, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you.
The King James Version says “Acquaint thyself with God and be at peace.” I love this translation. The Holman’s version says “come to terms with God.”
I believe the core issue in this verse is that in order to have peace one needs to in right standing with God and be at peace with Him. This is completely possible because Jesus made us righteous by nailing the letter of sin that stood against us to the cross. There is not one person on earth that has to live separate from God. Eternal union with God has always been God’s plan for humanity. Unfortunately billions of people live as if they are separate from God on earth and billions have died separate from Him and are now eternally burning in the fire of hell. Hell is real and it is not a place you or anyone you know should be going to.
My friend, if your life is not at peace then make peace with God today. I am not only talking about getting saved, but any form of conflict in your inner man and in your personal surroundings can be brought under God’s peace. Many Christians are not at peace and should make peace with God again. I know this by experience as I have many things, and also some people, who are regularly trying to steal my peace and my joy. Once you are at peace with God you can look at all the other issues in a new light. Repent of sin in your life and accept the forgiveness of Jesus. Then walk every minute in that knowledge that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You can be at peace because you have been placed in right standing with God by Jesus.
Seek God; He is closer than your skin. He will be found by you and has never hidden Himself from you. Don’t let feelings of inferiority, sinfulness and guilt keep you from the Father. Jesus removed all separation. Hallelujah!!!!
