Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven
where moth and rust cannot destroy and thieves cannot break in and steal

There is no way to peace along the way of saftey. For peace must be dared, it is itself the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. 
To demand guarantees, is to want to protect oneself. 
Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of Almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross.”
D. Bonhoeffer

  1. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. We tend to think that peace = security, when the opposite is true.
