Embrace truth! Love peace!”
PHILIPPIANS 4:7 (CEB)
Then the peace of God that exceeds all understanding will keep your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is eager for us to experience his powerful peace, which comes to us through Christ Jesus.
DAILY FODDER
The Hebrew concept of peace or shalom is richer than ours. We think of peace as the absence of conflict. But shalom can be peace happening in the midst of conflict. It's a rich complete life unphased by danger.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for the peace you initiated through Jesus. I desperately want to be a part of the peace he is spreading. But I still allow the chaos of the times to create angst in my mind. Wrap your reassuring arm around me so that I can represent you as an unanxious presence in our hellbent world. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
