Peace! An easy slogan to say or put on a bumper sticker, but a very hard thing to achieve. We want peace in our world, but war in some part of the war is a constant threat or reality. We want peace in our workplaces, but infighting occurs daily, it seems. We want peace in our homes, but selfishness rears its ugly head far too often.
Unrest, fear, worry, and anxiety do not come from God. He opposes these negative feelings and overcomes them by the power of His truth and might. II Thessalonians 3:16 says, “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way.”
If we will put aside these negative thoughts and feelings, and trust God to overcome them, then He promises to give us peace. His peace is available to us at all times and in every way. Struggles and problems will come our way, but God Almighty can and will overcome them.
