An Abundance of Peace (Ps. 72:5-7)

They shall fear You
As long as the sun and moon endure,
Throughout all generations.
He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing,
Like showers that water the earth.
In His days the righteous shall flourish,
And abundance of peace,
Until the moon is no more.

(Psalm 72:5-7, NKJV)

One day, there will be an “abundance of peace.” Sometimes that’s hard to believe even for those of us who are in relationship with the Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6).

If there’s one thing I really could use more of, it’s peace. Too many times my mind gets caught up with all the junk in the world, and I feel an unsettledness in my heart.

Earthquakes. Floods. Tsunamis.

People starving. People dying.

Hate. Persecution. War.

This world feels anything but peaceful these days.

Yet, one day, all we’ll feel is peace because we’ll be in the very presence of our Lord and Savior, our Prince of Peace.

No worry. No unsettled hearts. No anger. No anxiety.

Just peace. An “abundance of peace.”

Oh, Lord Jesus … Come quickly!
