THE LORD IS PEACE
Judges 6:23, 24
But the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you. Do not be afraid, for you will not die.”
So Gideon built an altar there to The LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Isaiah 6:9
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
When God calls people to His service, He gives us His peace. We are not called to fear and doubt, we are called to trust and obey. We are not called to worry and anxiety, we are called to rest and remain. Trust in His process and obey His Word. Rest in His Word and remain in Him.
Do you think God brings peace only to your surroundings and not to you? Not only can He calm stormy seas with a single word, "Peace", but the storm in our hearts is overridden by His Peace.
From Romans to Revelations the peace of God is sent to the churches/individuals to whom the letter is written. And when we understand that we are the church, the letter is written to us, as well.
Even in these last hours before Christ returns to get His bride, we encourage you to have His peace present within you. For God has placed a call on each person to enter into His Word, His Joy and His service. There we will know His Peace, for we will know Christ.
