"My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation"

Text: Isaah 32:18

PEACE IN THE LAND

One of the greatest blessings a war-torn country could wish for is “Peace”. The LORD knows the desire of His people. Peace is what they may enjoy as His gift!

“My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
Though hail comes down on the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation.
Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.”
