November 15, 2024 - Job 34:29 - Christ our Peace and Quietness

Job 34:29

"When He giveth Quietness, who then can make trouble?"


Christ is our Peace, our Quietness. When enemies come after a true child of God, there will be Peace drawn from the Word written in our heart by the Hand of God. You can be sure of Him, the Man Who earned our rest, the Peace and Quietness of Israel, typified by David's son Solomon, "Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon [man of peace], and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days." (1 Chronicles 22:9)


Solomon was a type of Christ Jesus to come, a Son of David, and THE Son of God, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given:...and His name shall be called...The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end..." (Isaiah 9:6-7) Solomon's peace was only temporary but Christ's peace is for ever, "Then Judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and Righteousness remain in the fruitful field. And the work of Righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of Righteousness quietness and assurance for ever." (Isaiah 32:16-17)


His children are His "fruitful field" and His work bought peace between us and God, the battle won at His cross, "O sing unto the LORD a new song; for He hath done marvelous things: His Right Hand, and His Holy Arm [Christ], Hath gotten Him the victory." (Psalm 98:1)


The Holy Spirit of Christ writes these "marvelous things" upon our hearts as David tells us, "All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by His Hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern. And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee..." (1 Chronicles 28:19-20)


Victory, Peace, Quietness, Assurance, Christ ALONE!

Amen. This verse comes to mind:

Romans 5:1

Therefore being justified, by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
