Peace Always in Every Way by David Jeremiah

Peace Always in Every Way    May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16    Thomas Watson wrote, “If God be our God, He will give us peace in trouble. When there is a storm without, He will make peace within. The world can create trouble in peace, but God can create peace in trouble.”

Paul ended his letters to the Thessalonians with a massive statement about peace, saying: (1) God is the Lord of peace. He possesses total peace within Himself and controls the flow and force of peace. (2) He Himself is peace. It’s one of His attributes. (3) He gives peace. It comes from nowhere else. (4) He gives peace always. There’s no circumstance in life beyond His ability to provide inner peace. (5) He gives peace in every way. It’s hard to comprehend all that means, but it surely involves our spirit, soul, mind, and emotions. (6) His peace is accompanied by His presence—“the Lord be with you all.”    This world is full of distractions, distresses, and disasters. But there is a place of peace—it is in Him, and it is Him!    Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest / Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest. Frances Havergal, in her hymn “Like a River Glorious.”
