Isaiah 32:17
The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
This verse reassures me so. Sometimes my faith is not as strong as I would like. I worry about too many things. This verse reminds me of the times I make the right decision, and do the right thing.

Dearest Lord, thanks you for the truth and assurance I read in your Book. Thank you for sending your son Jesus so that all our sins are forgiven. May the peace of Jesus Christ warm our hearts as we are granted forgiveness for all who believe. In…
Isaiah 32:17
The old adage, “It is better to give than to receive,” applies here. All of us have experienced the peace and confidence of knowing deep inside we have done the right thing for the right reasons. It is almost as if we can hear the voice of God saying, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Contrast that with the anxiety and distress of carrying around the burden of knowing one has violated the precepts of faith to gain an advantage or obtain a coveted bauble. A person striving for righteousness feels that tension, and with prayer, support of and accountability to like-minded believers, we can gain assurance on our journey.
