Peace


You will be at peace with the stones of the field and its wild animals will be at peace with you.

Job 5:23 (New Living Translation)

This verse comes from the Book of Job in the Bible. The Book tells the story of a man called Job who was a good man who trusted God entirely. But Job had terrible troubles. The devil didn’t believe that Job could trust God if he was really put to a test. God was so confident that Job would not fail he allowed the devil to cause Job’s many troubles. Although Job was literally put through hell on earth, he did not break and remained faithful to God. The above verse can be explained as follows:

‘Eliphaz promised many good things if Job would trust God. And Eliphaz was right. God cares about his people. God promises us many wonderful things. But we may not receive all these things until we arrive in heaven. In our lives on this earth, we may suffer many troubles but God will provide for us. But we should not imagine that we must be wealthy to be successful’ **
