The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

This is true even in the midst of moral decay, financial destruction, the ruination of a nation or a land . The fruit of righteousness will be peace. It is that peace that is beyond understanding. It is the peace of a heart set on God and His Word. As life rages around us, our soul is anchored to the One Who controls every circumstance.
