The Work Of Righteousness

The work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

—Isaiah 32:17 (NKJV)

LORD, My Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the blessing of righteousness that has been given to me, because Christ has come to dwell within my heart—for the work of peace that it is within me and for the quietness and assurance that it brings to me, forevermore!

Thank You that the redemptive work that has brought me into right-standing with You is a work of peace—a peace beyond my ability to comprehend.

Thank You that the effect of righteousness—that work of peace within me—is quietness and assurance forever.

Thank You that as I abide in the quietness of Your peace, my spirit is open to hear You speaking to my heart—as Your Spirit guides me in each moment of my walk with You here on earth.

Thank You that I have a blessed assurance—because of Your work of peace within me—which gives me an eternal hope in You.

Thank You for the blessing of righteousness that has been given to me, because Christ has come to dwell within my heart—for the work of peace that it is within me and for the quietness and assurance that it brings to me, forevermore!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
