How do you spend the majority of your time? Do you feel that the time you spend on a daily basis is mostly spent wisely?
Many people are successful to the eye but not successfully within themselves. The work of the righteous quiets the soul, granting them a peaceful assurance forever.
I have heard a quote that I liked: "Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure."
Having money, fame, and even health without doing righteous work or feeling fulfilled about how you spend your time is not success at all.
Being at peace with the actions that you do on a daily basis is true success. Having your actions and thoughts justified in the eyes of God is true fulfillment.
How do we seek a more righteous and peaceful existence?
Romans 5:1-2 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Put simply, when we, believers in Christ, live in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, loving and obeying his commans, we will have peace with God through Jesus.
We are not meant to live in fear; God has granted us the power of love, peace, and safety.
It is our own choices which are righteous or not, justified or not. Live righteously and you shall be peaceful.
