“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)
We all experience times when peace is distant and not
resident in our lives. Especially if we focus on conditions of our lives and
world during moments of crisis. Who could possibly be more of a true source of
peace than the Lord of peace? Our verse is
often used as a benediction in worship services. 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 anymore 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 can know God wants us to have His peace reign
in our lives 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.
