"The LORD gives strength to His people; The LORD blesses His people with peace." Psalms 29:11 (NIV)
After telling the people of God to give God what is due to Him (Psalms 29:1-2), and then justifying why they should, King David, the man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22), declares that The Lord strengthens His people and He blesses them with His peace.
God gives strength to His people in their hour of need, He shares some of His strength with us. Those who believe in, and are mindful of His way, will be blessed with His perfect peace. (Isaiah 26:3) It does not matter whatever comes our way, we should be comforted by the fact that the love of God and His peace shall always be with us. (2 Corinthians 13:11) He said that He would never leave us or forsake us, that means that He is always with us. (Hebrews 13:5) His strength is made perfect in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9) However, only believers can receive the power of God and be blessed with His perfect peace. All believers have to do in order to receive it is to ask God for it, we have not because we ask not. (John 15:16 & James 4:2)
