God’s desire is for His children to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. In a world filled with confusion and evil, the Word of God reminds us that whenever confusion is present, it is the work of the enemy, for God is the Author of peace.
The peace described in this scripture refers to a state of well-being that guarantees quietness and prosperity. The Greek word for peace here is eirēnē, meaning “to be set at one again.” It mirrors the Hebrew word shalom, which signifies completeness, soundness, and prosperity.
The fact that some Christians are constantly struggling and barely making ends meet is a sign that peace is missing in that area of their lives. True peace is found by increasing in the knowledge of the Word of God, and it results in prosperity.
