God’s Peace Prevails

Proverbs 30:10-20

Do not slander a servant to his master,
    lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

11  There are those  who curse their fathers
    and do not bless their mothers.
12  There are those who are clean in their own eyes
    but are not washed of their filth.
13  There are those—how lofty are their eyes,
    how high their eyelids lift!
14  There are those whose teeth are swords,
    whose fangs are knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth,
    the needy from among mankind.

15  The leech has two daughters:
    Give and Give.  
Three things are never satisfied;
    four never say, “Enough”:
16  Sheol, the barren womb,
    the land never satisfied with water,
    and the fire that never says, “Enough.”

17  The eye that mocks a father
    and scorns to obey a mother
will be picked out by the ravens of the valley
    and eaten by the vultures.

18  Three things are too wonderful for me;
    four I do not understand:
19  the way of an eagle in the sky,
    the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
    and the way of a man with a virgin.

20  This is the way of an adulteress:
    she eats and wipes her mouth
    and says, “I have done no wrong.”

Today’s Truth

In a world broken by sin, the serene beauty of God's peace is present and powerful and will ultimately prevail.

Discussion Questions
  1. Where in your life right now do you recognize the craziness? With whom will you share the hectic, anxious circumstances of your life today?
  2. Can you think of a stressful time in your life when God's peace brought you comfort? How did you pursue His comfort?
  3. Even though there are times when God's promise of peace is hard to understand, can you rejoice in that promise? Do you know that God wants you to have a true perspective of peace and genuine joy in all circumstances?
