Peace
As I sit and marvel at God’s creation, I can’t help but to wonder what awesome
power has created such tranquil surroundings. The mighty oaks with flush greenery, the
gentle, rolling hills of “The Great Smoky Mountains” and the sound of rushing water from a
nearby creek. Living in such ideal conditions, the thought of chaos and violence is
inconceivable. Yet, a closer glance at the place in which we call home suggest something
entirely different. The violent mysteries that are created by nature itself are infamously
spectacular. Looking even closer, it seems that the wrath of God has been unleashed upon
His very own. The very thought of devastating ruin creep into the foremost part of my mind.
The universe in which we live seems to be even more wretched than our immediate
surroundings. Our vast and infinite universe is quite capable of annihilating our humble
home. The wonders of God’s very own creation has left even the most intellectual beings
from the past and present dumbfounded. Yet, God Almighty is the one in which we seek our
refuge. Looking into the book that shows the blueprint of our very existence and the order in
which we should live; the Bible lists peace as an absolute prerequisite for eternal salvation.
God sent His only Son, Jesus, not to destroy, but to build a relationship between He and thee
to establish peace in a seemingly cruel and violent environment. Follow the ultimate example
of peace, Jesus, and only then will you find a truly tranquil and sublime place among such
turmoil and devastating ruin.
