1. Peace with God (1)
When we did not know God, we could not but live as his enemies. We could not have peace in our hearts because of our rebellious spirits. But we have been justified--made right with God--by faith in Jesus. So, we have peace with God, and the peace of God takes root in our hearts.
2. Joy (2-5)
When we stand in God's grace, we can rejoice. We rejoice in the hope of sharing God's glory. We also rejoice in suffering. People who live without God become bitter and rebellious when pain or tragedy strikes. But when we stand in God's grace, with his peace and joy in our hearts, he can use our sufferings to train us in faith and in Christian character. Suffering draws us close to Jesus, so we grow in his love; God's Spirit, his hope and his love then fill our hearts.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for the peace and joy which you have put in my heart. The world can neither give nor take away this joy and peace.
One Word: Rejoice in suffering
