Lord of Peace

1 Kings 4-5; 2 Chronicles 2; Psalms. 101; 2 Thessalonians 3

“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

2 Thessalonians 3:16

“…now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster.”

1 Kings 5:4

It is God who gives peace; peace within and peace around us. Peace is more than the absence of conflict. Peace with God is the fruit of acknowledging his lordship in our lives and accepting his gift of forgiveness for our sin. We are then able to experience his presence and his peace in our lives. Our words become formed from this inner sanctuary of peace; our thoughts are at peace. We become people of peace and at peace. When God blesses our relationships with peace on every side, we can use our resources and strength to bless God and others and live for his glory. God’s people should be known for peace.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for peace within and without. You are my Lord.”
