KNOW TO ASK FOR THE PEACE OF GOD

Are you claiming trust in God but not with hope?
Claiming trust in God without having hope in God is not enough to claim the blessing of God. Jeremiah 17:7 confirms, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 
One that trusts and has hope in the Lord God is the one who trusts with hope in God, and his mind stays on God.
The promise of God to bless is undeniable for one that does according to the word of God. 
Do you trust, hope with the mind that stays on God?
A promise of God for trusting and having hope, with the mind that stays on God will gain the peace of God. Isaiah 26:3 confirms, “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You Because he trusts in You.”
The character of having trust, having hope with the mind stays on God is one with zealous for God.
Phinehas was with zeal for God. It happened that while the Israelites were in Acacia Grove in their journey to the Promised Land, they committed harlotry with the women of Moab. It was a sin that arouses the anger of God against the Israelites. Numbers 25:6-9 records, “And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 7 Now when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand; 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel. 9 And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.”
Phinehas had zealous for God by his demonstration of a faithful act not to compromise with the sin of his brethren in the presence of God.
God responded to the zealous of Phinehas in Numbers 25:12-13, “…Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace, and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God…’”  God is the benevolent rewarder of those with Zeal for Him. 
Are you zealous for God or zealous for the world and its activities?
It is not possible to have the zeal of God and miss the peace of God.
Also, in the absence of the peace of God, there will be anxiety in making a decision.
Anxiousness will deny or delay acting out for the glory of God.
Word of God encourages against anxiousness to enable the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Philippians 4:6-7 admonishes all, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Phineas, son of Eleazer, is an example in the pages of the Bible that received the blessing of peace of God after acting out against the sin of his brethren before God.
If you are zealous for God, the peace of God will occupy you.
Are you one with trust, hope, the mind, and zeal for God?
Today, know let Jesus occupy you. Revelation 3:20 records the word of Jesus, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.” 
Prayerfully, ask for the zeal of God to become your way of life.
Pray by: 
Ask God for His voice to sound in your direction, that you hear and to do, to His glory.
Ask that the word of God occupy you, to establish in you that His peace takes over the life He has given you. 
Ask that the boldness and character like that of Phinehas become in your life.
