Yahweh-Shalom – The LORD Is Peace
The Lord greeted Gideon in peace, so he built an altar and named it “The LORD is Peace” (see Judges 6:23-24). You have probably heard the blessing “Shalom” from Jewish friends and acquaintances. It means peace. More importantly it means the Lord, our peace. Where does the Shepherd lead His sheep? Beside peaceful, still waters. “He leads me beside the still waters; He makes me lie down in green pastures” (Psalm 23:2). When your heart is content, you are at peace. And where does that contentment come from? The grace of God. There’s no man more discontent than one who is not experiencing the amazing grace of God. Only in Jesus, will you find security, sufficiency, and serenity.
Our hevenly Falther, Yahweh-Shalom-The LORD Is Peace, we come to Thee and lay our burdens down and give Thee thanks for Bearing them for us. Amen.
