A third weakness of the world's peace

The world’s peace settles for shallow living. As long as money is flowing and life is free of problems, the world says we are experiencing peace. But this definition is shallow and ignores the issues of our sinful nature. It is like putting cheap plaster or whitewash on the wall, when renovation work is actually necessary.

Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash, say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! There will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. ” Ezekiel 13:10-1 

There is no quick fix for trauma. To find healing we need to dig deeper with God. God makes it clear that peace cannot come without righteousness. He expresses it poetically by describing an intimate relationship between righteousness and peace.
​
Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land. Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Psalm 85:8-11

Peace cannot exist without God’s salvation and righteousness! Pursue God’s righteousness and you will find healing.
