Listening for the word of peace

Psalms 85:8, “I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints...”

The psalmist not only tells us that he adopts the position of a listener to God, he proceeds to tell us why he is so keen to listen to the Lord, namely, “for he will speak peace to his people.” This is what God’s people need to hear, it is what they want to hear, more importantly, it is what God wants to convey to them. The saints are often filled with fears. They often have doubts, disturbances and disquietness. There are battles and conflicts within them as well as without and about them. They then need to hear the Lord saying, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). Peace comes to the heart from God’s word. We must listen to that word then and with faith receive it.

“When the child of God wants peace, he can have no peace till God speaks it... Let God's people be in never so great distress, yet it is an easy thing for God to give peace to them. Mark the expression here used: it is but speaking peace, that is, it is as easy for him to give peace as it is for you to speak a word; it is no more to him. Then our comfort is, that as he only must do it, so he easily can do it, even with a word” (Thomas Goodwin).
