Leviticus 26:6
" 'I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country – Leviticus 26:6
Peace – What a word. It’s used 231 times in the NIV. It’s used as a blessing, a greeting, a prayer, and an emotion. As children of God we seek peace through Jesus. When we stray from God’s intent we know because we don’t feel at “peace”. How many times have we prayed for peace for ourselves or a loved one or our country? But what is peace, can we define it? If I asked you to define “peace” in twenty-five words or less, could you? Maybe not, but I guarantee you know what it feels like and if you think about it I bet you know where to find it.
If you’ve forgotten, close your eyes and repeat after me, “The Lord is my shepherd….”
Prayer
Father, grant us the wisdom to pursue peace in all we do.
