What a Promise

But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Psalms 37:11

"and shall delight themselves is the abundance of peace
;
of spiritual peace enjoyed in a way of believing, arising from a comfortable view of interest in the blood, righteousness, and sacrifice of Christ; and of all happiness and prosperity in the kingdom of Christ here on earth, at which time there will be abundance of peace, ( Psalms 72:7); or of eternal peace in the world to come, which will be a state of uninterrupted and unspeakable peace; see (Psalms 37:37); all which afford inconceivable delight and pleasure; and therefore such have no need to fret and be envious at the fading happiness of wicked men." From John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

    In His days the righteous shall flourish, And abundance of peace, Until the moon is no more.   

Psalms 72:7

 

 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.   

Psalms 37:37

 

 

I love peace - so this is such a wonderful promise to me!
