From Stillness to Strength — Now into Virtue

Dear Family,

Over the last few weeks, we sat together at the still waters of God’s peace, learning that peace is not just a moment we visit, but a place we live from. In that stillness, we found our strength. And in that strength, we learned to stand when life shook around us.

But peace was never meant to be the final destination. Peace is the foundation on which God builds a life of virtue.

The Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines Virtue as:

Virtue, then, is peace in motion. It’s the ability to move through life anchored in God’s truth, acting with integrity, courage, and love no matter the cost. Peace steadies you but virtue propels you.

Why Peace Needs Virtue — and Virtue Needs Peace

• Peace protects virtue. Without inner stillness, virtue can be easily compromised by fear, pressure, or distraction.

• Virtue proves peace. When your choices align with God’s moral law, you show that your peace is not fragile — it’s fortified.

“The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” — Proverbs 20:7
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” — Proverbs 31:10

Men and women alike are called to walk in this spiritual power — not for applause, but for Kingdom purpose. The virtuous woman builds her home in wisdom. The virtuous man leads with integrity and courage. And both find their footing in the peace of God.

Self-Reflection This Week

1. In my daily choices, am I living from the peace God has given me — or reacting from fear or frustration?

2. Which areas of my life need virtue to take root — areas where peace must become action?

3. How can I allow God’s Word to shape my moral backbone this week?

With Peace & Love,
