The Secret of Peace

The Secret of Peace

Bible: 2 Thessalonians 3: 16-18

The Lord of peace himself give you peace (V.16).

Grace is a very special lady in my church. One word comes to mind when I think of her: peace. The quiet and restful expression on her face hasn’t really changed in the six months I have known her, even though her husband was diagnosed with a rare disease and hospitalised.


When I asked Grace the secret of her peace, she said, “It’s not a secret, it’s a Person. It’s Jesus in me. There is no other way I can explain the quietness I feel in the middle of this storm.”


The secret of peace is our relationship with Jesus Christ. He is our peace. When Jesus is our Saviour and Lord, and as we become more like Him, peace becomes real. Things like sickness, trouble at school, exams or any other problems will still be there for us to work through, but peace tells us that God holds our lives in His hands (DAN. 5:23). When we trust God, we
can know that all things will work together for good—He is in control. Have we experienced this peace that goes beyond what we can see in front of us? Do we have the confidence that God is in control? My prayer for all of us today comes from the words of Paul: “May the Lord of peace
himself give you peace.” May we feel this peace “at all times and in every way” (2 THESS. 3:16).


To Pray About…

Dear Jesus, please give us Your peace at all times and in every situation.

TO TRUST IN JESUS IS PEACE.
