John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

This follow peace in Hebrews 12 is noteworthy. If you are totally familiar with the peace of God, then you are walking in some aspect of God’s will. If you lose your peace something went wrong. This doesn’t have to be something significant, but it could be. Any time I lose my peace, I look to that moment when I first noticed it was gone and examine what I was doing or thinking about. The sooner you can identify those moments the better chance you have of heading of trouble.

People who stay in turmoil have a difficult time feeling the peace of God. Emotional distress can void peace. It is a precious gift from God, this promise of peace. It is the leading edge of the security of believers.

Perhaps that would be a good promise to look at next. Security.
