God wants you to be in His presence. He wants you to enjoy Him. He wants you to know His power. He wants to teach you how to follow Him. He wants to open up doors of impossibility for you and make a way where there seems to be no way. All you need to do is ask, for the Bible has promised that whatever you ask for in Jesus’s name in faith believing, you will receive it.
Don’t ever think God will let disobedience slide. Obedience is His highest priority. But even if you don’t put God first, it doesn’t stop the fact that He is first. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Your opinion and my opinion doesn’t matter. The only opinion that matters is God’s, and He deserves His rightful place as first in our lives.
Peace in the Bible is never sought as the end of existence. Peace is always the consequence of something. It is not a consequence of positive thinking or good intentions. It is a fruit of the Spirit in you. Peace is impossible to receive without a knowledge of who Jesus Christ is and is the result of a relationship with Him.
