Dear brother and sister

Can we go through the day, each day with a sense of peace and pleasantness in our soul?

Yes and to such extend that others will be blessed by what you enjoy in your heart. Does this sound too unreal to believe? Please read on.

Proverbs 3:15 She (wisdom) is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

Why is wisdom so precious and what does it have to do with peace and pleasantness in our soul?

A few verses later: ¹⁷Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace

Why then do we sometimes loose that sense in our hearts? The answer is simply that we somehow failed to act with God’s wisdom in our life or in particular situations. According to v.17 above if I choose the way of Wisdom in my decisions that beautiful peace and pleasantness of God’s presence will follow regardless of how difficult our circumstances may be.

What can we do if we loose that peace?

Instead of blaming others, our circumstances and if we are not careful even God himself for our troubled soul, we need to humbly search our hearts and the scriptures and be willing to be shown of God where we failed. Then by confession and prayer the Lord will restore us with His peace.
