“Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (ESV)
Who could possibly be more of a true source of peace than the Lord of peace? We look today at a verse often used as a benediction in our worship services because it is the last verse in the letter Paul wrote and sent to the believers in Thessalonica. But we look at it today because it is good any time to remember the promise here. We may think that we can experience peace by deciding not to worry any more and we may think then, that we did all by our own effort. Our verse reminds us that true peace comes from God. He is the God of peace and He gives His peace to those who believe and trust Him. We learn also that God wants us to have His peace always, at all times, in every way. In every circumstance of our lives – even today no matter what challenges we are facing or what we are struggling with, God can give us peace that comes directly from Him. Why? Because He is with us. Stay close, have peace. This is the promise.
