God is Peace! So to know God is to bask in His Peace. The closer we draw to Him, the more of His Peace we can enjoy (James 4:8). God gives us clear instructions about how to draw near to Him. Psalm 24:3–4 says, “Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.” But Scripture is also clear that we cannot make ourselves clean enough or pure enough to earn the presence of the Lord (Romans 3:10, 23).

So how do we draw near enough to experience His Peace? Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my Peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27). We come into the presence of the Lord through His Son (John 14:6). When we allow Jesus’ death and resurrection to purchase our forgiveness from God, we are counted as righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Our sins are forgiven because Jesus already paid the price for them. Only then can we have peace with God (Romans 4:5; 5:1; 1 John 4:10).

Psalm 1 says, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

This is the first three verses of Psalm 1 which represents a deliberate, secure positioning drawing continuous,, unseen nourishment and stability, even during difficult times.

It signifies patience, steady growth, and, the development of Godly character, with results appearing at the appropriate, appointed time.

It symbolizes enduring, lasting strength and vitality that persists despite external pressures or hardships.

Implies that actions aligned with God's will are successful in achieving divine purpose, bringing meaningful, lasting outcomes, rather than just material wealth. 

2 Corinthians 5:7 says “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

Allow God’s promises to guide. Trust His invisible eternal truth rather than relying solely on physical circumstances, temporary appearances, or natural, earthly reasoning.

Faith is ian active trust in God’s plan and character, relying on His Word, even when the situation seems bleak or the unknown future seems dim.

Walking by faith means choosing hope, obedience, and courage over fear and dependence on the physical world.
