Now may the Lord of peace Himself
give you peace always in every way.
The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
I vividly remember my grandfather telling me a story about a smart boy. There was a loving king who loved his people very much; he often used to call people into his court and used to ask them what they wanted and gift them. People used to choose gold, land, cows, job, clothes…etc. Now it’s the turn of a small boy when the king asks him what you want. He answered, “You.” King was fascinated with this little boy, King made him a royal, and the small boy has everything now. The small boy found the secret to riches.
Similarly, to find peace in life, we need to find the secret to peace. Paul tells the secret in today’s verse; It is the Lord of peace himself. When we have Jesus, we have everything. He will give us peace always in every way. No matter the enemy’s trials, it may be a troubling boss, financial struggles, sickness…anything. When we are in constant communion with God, nothing can break us because His peace surrounds us.
Do you need peace in life? Then the secret is The Prince of Peace himself…Jesus Christ.
No Jesus, No Peace; Know Jesus, Know Peace…
Amen.
