"For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." -Isaiah 55:12
Yesterday Kim Potter shared this "seek the peace and pursue it" (Psalm 34:14) in her article. I felt that the Lord is telling me to be secure in peace by pursuing it fully. Just like how the Lord sent the angels to tell Lots and his family, "Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away."
Isaiah 55 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. In verse 8-9, it explains about how great God is and how His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. We had to (1) submit to His will to experience the best. In verse 10-11, it tells us about how God will bring down the rain and the snow to confirm that (2) His words shall not come empty, but it shall sprouts upon the earth. God is going to take care of the rest. Now God is telling us in verse 12 to (3) go out in joy and be led forth in peace.
Joyce Meyer said, "If you lose your peace, you lose your power."
The last verse basically tells us that (4) God will change everything into good- that is after we go out in joy and be led forth in peace.
