"Looking For Peace In All The Wrong Places"

Peace /pēs/ :

"Freedom from disturbance; quiet and tranquility"

We long for it ..

We pray for it..

We fight for it..

By majority , "peace" in the Bible originates from the Hebrew word "shalom."
Shalom literally means "peace" however, the meaning is so much more than the "absence of war".

In the Hebrew , shalom is being in harmony with God and all of God's creation.

"Shalom" is that moment when we look around and realize "this is as it should be."

It is a time when you exhale..and find yourself living in a moment designed the way it was meant to be.

Not worrying about tomorrow or regretting yesterday.

You are living at peace with the gift of now....

We fight battles that have long since ended...or anticipate battles of that which may never be.

And far,..too many of us, are fighting someone elses' battle...

I think you will agree, it is time...to drop your sword...

Raise your arms in sweet surrender...and know that...

"the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus".-Phillipians 4:7 

Allow this,.. to fill your heart, soul and mind..

Dropping your sword, and living in harmony with God and His creation, does not mean you stop caring about those around you.
It means you are trusting the One who made them, to care for them in ways that only He can.

Whatever "IT" is, remember, it was never yours to begin with.

Peace begins and ends with the only One who can give it..

Living in harmony with Him and His creation...begins with your surrender..

It is a way of life, that begins with this moment.

God will fight your battles...and the sooner you surrender it to Him...the sooner you will find the peace that has slipped through your grasp.

Surrender it to Him, regardless of the situation, and you will find ....life will become all that it should be, regardless of what it is.

Take a moment and let Him lead you to the only place...where peace truly lives...
