Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile. Here is the key to obtaining spiritual trust. As ever, it comes back to the shunning of the evils of life. True peace is not simply the cessation of combat or a tranquil state of the mind at rest. It is not a vacuum or hiatus of all activity, rather it is a positive and powerful state of being which remains strong and undisturbed even in the midst of combat and turmoil.
Peace is a state which results from the marriage of good and truth in our life.
When the truth from the Word implanted in the understanding is joined with the good of love from the Lord in us, we have an inner strength. Perhaps this is mirrored in the confidence of a man who knows and loves his profession. Day by day, he faces challenges and problems in his work. These are not discouraging to him or a cause of despair. He attacks them confidently and professionally.
