Today’s
scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:16
The Lord just doesn’t give peace, He is peace. Peace is defined as a state of tranquility and serenity. As you think of that definition of peace, do you picture God? Do you think of Him as tranquil or serene? Or do you think of Him as the great disciplinarian, standing somewhere in heaven ready to rain down wrath and judgment?
The Bible makes it clear that God will judge, and like a loving Father, He does correct us when we’re wrong.
But He also is peace itself.
What does that mean? It means that when we’re in His presence, when we sit at the feet of the throne of our Lord, we can experience His peace washing over us like a warm summer rain.
All we have to do is ask.
Ask Him now. Ask Him to fill you with His peace. Ask Him to fill you with Himself.
Think about God being peace itself. What does that mean to you? How might that change how you picture God? How might that change how you spend time with Him?
