Peace Test
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5 NKJV) Enrolment in the school of faith appears a submission to peace test. As expected, the abundance of the material things of this world does not guarantee peace in the heart. Peace comes with the development of a character of perseverance through tribulation and trials. There is no single hero of faith without the evidence of passing through the curriculum of this school of faith. It was thereafter, they all (from Abel to Zechariah) can testify that hope does not disappoint. Until our hearts are shifted from the love of material things to the love of God though faith, we may forever lose out on the experience of peace that passes all understanding.
