A family with their well-blessed barn, without missing anything, their children have everything, and everything in their house is abundant. But it is as the proverbist says, that you can have everything but if there is no peace, it is useless. Many people believe that abundance is the highest form of blessing, and although it can indeed be a gift from God, abundance without peace becomes a burden rather than a blessing. A table full of food loses its sweetness when the home is full of shouting, disagreements, or bitterness.
Peace is very important to you, that is why it is good to keep a balance in all the things we have, what we do and also what we are going to do. Peace is not improvised, it is built with patience, humility, and wisdom. That is why we must be organized in everything, because if we are organized, the things that we are going to do will do well and we will have peace. A home that walks in order will find that peace flows more naturally, because the atmosphere is one of cooperation and not confusion.
Many only take care of having everything, trying to never miss food for their relatives, but they forget something very important: that there is no peace in their homes. They make every effort to provide material things, but forget the spiritual and emotional health of the family. There are homes where there is abundance but also daily conflict, harsh words, and unresolved resentments. This makes others see that there is no peace, and instead of setting a good example, they send a wrong message. The children or grandchildren who are growing up see these things and may practice the same, because they learned that lack of peace is “normal.”
In Proverbs we find this very important verse that we must take into account:
Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
Proverbs 17:1
The Bible is clear: it is preferable to have little but live in peace, rather than have everything and live in constant conflict. A dry morsel refers to the simplest meal, the most basic provision, yet when this simple food is accompanied by peace, it becomes more valuable than the richest banquet where there is tension. Peace fills the house with warmth; contention empties it.
Abundance is of no use to you if there is no peace in your home. Wealth cannot replace peace, and possessions cannot heal the wounds caused by arguments or pride. It is better to have only what is necessary to live, but let there be peace, honor, and mutual respect. Peace is one of the most beautiful gifts God gives to His children, and it must be protected with diligence.
These tips are good because they are the words of God placed on a man so that we can learn from them every day. God wants homes to be filled not only with provision, but with harmony and His presence. Peace in the home is a testimony of God’s work in our hearts. A peaceful home does not mean a home without problems, but a home that knows how to handle them with wisdom, humility, and love.
Let us learn to cultivate peace. Let us be slow to anger, quick to forgive, careful with our words, and intentional in creating an environment where the presence of God is felt. May our homes reflect the peace that Christ gives—the peace that surpasses all understanding. And if today there is abundance but no peace, may the Lord help us reorder our priorities so that peace reigns above everything else.
