If going through tests and trials produced patience in us, why don't we already have more patience than we do? Despite what many Christians think on this, the Bible does not teach that tests and trials produce patience. So what does it teach in James 1:2?

The Word of God teaches us that the peace of God is to "umpire" our life decisions, but just how far will a simple yes or no answer get you. We look at the life of Elijah and the widow woman commanded by God to feed him and how the simple knowledge of yes or no helped them.

Life brings us "Oh MY" moments. Those times when something goes wrong or a surprise come up and you from life is good to "Oh MY! What am I going to do now?" How do you maintain the peace of God when these things happen? We look at a chapter in the life of Elisha to find out what to do.

The peace of God is there to "Umpire" or decide good and bad, right and wrong decisions in our life, and such. There is also an enemy of peace (fear) that is trying to do the same thing. We look at some pillars in the church who gave into fear instead of following God's peace to see how we can avoid making the same mistake in our lives.

We all like the idea of peace, but how do you get the peace of God in your life? What is this peace intended to do for your spiritual walk? As the joy of the Lord is our strength, so too the peace of God has specific benefits for our Christian walk. Do you know what they are?

There is a process that God created to go on in us that will continually produce Joy in our lives. There are many things that come against this to stop it from working, but if we understand the process we can guard against it being stopped and our joy will continually be full. This will also help us to regain our joy if it has fallen away.
