Today's Scripture<br />

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have PEACE. In the world<br />

you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world”<br />

John 16:33<br />

JEHOVAH SHALOM - The Lord Is Peace!<br />

Peace with one another means being in a right relationship with one<br />

another. Peace within means being alright within, and peace with God<br />

means being alright with God.<br />

We assume we would have PEACE if we had, a decent salary a year per<br />

person, a nice home for every human being, no sickness or being ill,<br />

plenty of food and water for everyone. These things are not<br />

unimportant! God expects us to try and make many of these things a<br />

reality, but the truth is that these things won't bring PEACE, PEACE with<br />

God will bring them! If these things alone are the foundation of our<br />

peace we will be frustrated constantly and never nd PEACE!<br />

Jesus said in John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me<br />

you may have Peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take<br />

heart! I have overcome the world."<br />

A relationship with God which is a relationship of Peace is available for<br />

each one of us who know Him. Peace is there for the taking. Nothing<br />

can rob you of your peace, because it is based on what Jesus has already<br />

done, not on who we are or what we have done, or the circumstances we<br />

nd ourselves in.<br />

Do you have PEACE today? Do you want PEACE today? I encourage you<br />

to examine your relationship with God, the God of PEACE. This is where<br />

true PEACE comes from.<br />

Prayer<br />

For The Day<br />

Heavenly Father, thank<br />

you for your peace which<br />

passes all understanding.<br />

I choose to expect Your<br />

goodness. I choose to<br />

f o c u s o n Y o u r<br />

faithfulness. I trust that<br />

You are working behind<br />

the scenes, and I expect<br />

that You will turn things<br />

around for my good in<br />

Jesus name. Amen."<br />
