I was in
high school when Mark Lowry’s comedy videos (oh yes, VHS!) were popular. I memorized
all of them and can still quote big chunks of them. (Call me for trivia night!)
Anyway, one of his sketches talked about the Bible verse where Jesus said he
came to give us life more abundant. Mark said first we have to know what life
is – a series of mountains and valleys. And with Jesus we have life more
abundant…higher mountains and deeper valleys.
That’s always what I think of
when I hear the word abundant. Abundance is (fill in the blank) to the max.
So when I think about that in
light of Psalm 37:11, I smile. But the meek shall inherit the land and
delight themselves in abundant peace.
Peace…in abundance.
Peace…to the max.
Life in this old world doesn’t feel
very peaceful right now, does it? It doesn’t matter where you turn or what you’re
looking at, it’s tumultuous.
Jesus talked about that, too. He
said He doesn’t give peace like the world gives. That’s a comfort. His peace is
delightful. Abundant.
What would it be like to delight
ourselves in the abundant peace that can only come from the Lord??
There’s something to think about
today…
