It was a lot of pressure for a sixth grader. I wish I could say that I triumphantly rounded the bases and won the game, but I grounded out to the shortstop instead. I can't really imagine having peace in a situation like that. In fact, part of what makes the game exciting is the tension. But if I lived every minute that way, it would likely affect my health and shorten my life.
Peace is an essential ingredient in a happy and long life.
Paul wrote the Thessalonians a benediction of peace. That great commodity, peace, can be experienced as you walk with Jesus. When you walk with Him, His peace rubs off on you. Get to know the God of Peace through Jesus Christ His Son. In knowing Him you can have peace in life's circumstances.
