Biblical Peace

12/09/2019

Brothers, What does it mean to have peace, true shalom? The kind of peace that only the Lord can provide, amidst our afflictions here on earth. Join me for “5 days on peace”. Let’s discover the true meaning of this attribute or “fruit” of the Spirit. Have a blessed day and continue faithfully in prayer at all times. Seek the Lord with all your heart and place your hope in Him. He will not disappoint! 🙏

Day 1
Col 3 v 12-17
Heb 4 v 1-13
1 Thes 5 v 19-24

To find the peace of Christ and to let it rule in our hearts, is to believe and through believing, find our rest in Him.  It seems however it doesn’t stop there and also requires compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, thankfulness, patience, love and forgiveness.  How often do we find ourselves in a storm and we simply cannot calm down? 

A good word to describe it for me is “tumult” – turmoil, confusion and unrest and we wonder why there is no peace…   but there’s more;  do not quench the Spirit, i.e allow the Spirit to teach and guide you,  while holding fast to that which is good.  Depart and abstain from [all] evil and let the God of peace, our Heavenly Father sanctify us so that we can be blameless when He comes. 

May your day be filled with joy and peace knowing Jesus has fulfilled the whole law and has overcome and defeated sin and death so that we can enter His rest.  Praise Him for He is good!

Day 2
John 16 v 33

“I have told you these things [above] so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
