Okay, I listed 11, not 10 “top” verses from the Psalms about peace. I couldn’t help myself! For centuries, the Psalms have been a source of solace for weary travelers.
In this blog, I’ve had the privilege of writing 500 to 600 words on 145 of the 150 Psalms (I’ll be finished soon). That’s about 82,000 words, or about a book and a half, as modern Christian books average 50,000 words.
The top 10/11 passages that I’ve listed here are good friends; they’ve never let me down.
