I will keep you in perfect peace because your mind is steadfast and trusts in me. Is. 26:3
The Hebrew word "shalom" is a beautiful word. In the Bible it's a blessing that Aaron was commanded to speak over the people of Israel. Shalom is more than our idea of the absence of fighting. It's a positive picture of a life filled with well-being--everything working in the right way. God's way.
Shalom results in rest for your soul, a confident mind, harmonious relationships and a prosperous walk through life. When you say "Shalom" to someone, you're proffering this kind of peace....not one rising from our war-torn, conflict-ridden world, but real peace that comes from a deep, enduring knowledge of God and complete trust in him.
It's through our relationship with God that we can live with the blessing of having "his face shine upon us" and his granting us his Shalom.
God of all grace, in the midst of fights and feuds, we yearn for your shalom through Jesus. Let Sarah see and feel your smile on her today, and especially when things go wrong. Amen.
