“The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.” – Isaiah 32:17 (NIV)
Today’s Scripture Lesson
Isaiah 32:17 reveals a powerful truth: true peace, quietness, and confidence come from righteousness. In a world filled with anxiety, uncertainty, and turmoil, many search for peace in temporary things, but Scripture teaches that real and lasting peace is a result of being made right with God.
Righteousness is not something we achieve on our own; it is a gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ. When we surrender to Him, we are made righteous before God, and that righteousness produces peace in our hearts and lives.
This peace is not just the absence of trouble but a deep inner calm that comes from knowing we are secure in God’s hands. It brings quietness to our souls, allowing us to rest in His promises. It also fills us with confidence, knowing that no matter what happens, God is in control and our future is secure in Him.
If you are feeling restless or uncertain today, turn to God. Allow His righteousness to bring you the peace and confidence that nothing in this world can provide.
