The Fruit of the Spirit - PEACE


Jehovah Shalom

Phil 4: Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The sweet peace of our God, Jehovah Shalom (Judges 6:23&24), is ours to experience. We are advised to live peacefully, pursue peace, strive for peace, seek peace, to walk in peace, to be peacemakers, to rest peacefully, and to allow peace to rule in our hearts - but the assurance that the peace of Jehovah Shalom will guard our hearts and minds is most precious. We need it as we live this tumultuous life on earth and as many of us are prone to anxiety. God’s peace, in the midst, is a dear gift.

Praise God!
