Romans 5:1 (NIV)
5 Therefore, since we have been justified through
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Before the Big Four Conference in Geneva I watched President
Eisenhower kneel in a chapel and ask God for divine guidance in the
deliberations to follow. I felt sure that God would answer his earnest prayer.
I believe that He did, for President Eisenhower during those days displayed the
spirit of a true peacemaker on the international level. The only corrective
measure in establishing peace is for men as individuals to know the peace of
God. Though I am not wholly averse to movements which strive in one way or
another for world peace, I have a strong conviction that such peace will never
come unless there is a spiritual dynamic at the core. I pray for wars to cease,
just as I pray for crime to stop; but I know that the basic cause of both crime
and war is the inherent sinfulness of human nature. The world cannot be reborn
until men are born again and are at peace with God.
Thought for today:
Am I at peace with God and myself?
