Thoughts for the Day

God, our heavenly Father, is Jehovah [Yahweh]-Shalom: "the Lord is peace."

Ever since the sin of Adam and Eve, man's deepest need has been for peace with God. This longing for peace is expressed in many ways. People look to political reform, New Age philosophies, cults and other factions searching for peace. Some try to find peace through alcohol or drugs. Some adopt an attitude of "if it feels good, do it." Others look for peace by being good and doing good, volunteering for humanitarian service of various types. But if people find any kind of peace in these kinds of searches, it is a temporary refuge that disintegrates when problems and difficult situations arise.

The only real lasting peace comes from a relationship with God through Christ.

When we receive Jesus Christ as our savior and make him the center of our lives, we receive a peace that is beyond our understanding. "Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7 NLT
Consider This . . .

We may still go through difficult times and stressful challenges, but as long as we trust God and choose to do things His way ... as long as we keep our eyes on Jesus and not on the waves pounding against us ... as long as we truly believe that He loves us, that He has forgiven us, and that all things will work together for good, we will continue to experience His peace. Jehovah-Shalom, the Lord is peace.
