The LORD
will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace. Psalm 29:11
And
having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:15
The Hebrew word
"shalom" has meaning that is deep and rich. Peace, completeness,
prosperity, safety, contentment, health, blessing, and rest are all apportioned
to the meaning of this remarkable word.
The ancient Hebrew
spelling of "shalom" is interesting because it speaks only indirectly
about these multiple meanings, but reveals something very profound about
apprehending "shalom".
The composition of Shalom at approximately 1000 B.C. |
"Shalom" is
comprised of four Hebrew letters: "Sheen", "Lamed",
"Vav" and "Mem".
The letter
"Sheen", represented as teeth, illustrates destruction.
"Lamed"
portrays a staff and illustrates authority.
"Vav", illustrated
as a nail or a tent peg, carries the ideas of fastening, securing, or
establishing.
So the Hebrew word
picture for "shalom" communicates this message – "destroying the
authority that establishes chaos"!
Do you want
"shalom" in your life? You will need to deal with the roots and
causes of chaos.
The one and only successful way to do that is through
faith in and identity with Yeshua (Jesus) your Sar Shalom – your Prince of Peace – because He has already disarmed the authorities which establish chaos and will soon destroy them completely.

He said, “These things I have spoken to you, so that
in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage;
I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Would you want God to change your life?
God has made it possible
for you to know Him and experience an
amazing change in your own life through
a relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
Say the following prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner
and my sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn
away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid
sinning again.
I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ
died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of
my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that
according to Your Word, I am now born again.
Please send your Holy Spirit to help
me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study
Your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”
If I
forgive and forget could I have peace with God?
“The Only Real Peace”
lyrics
Life
is a few days of trouble a wise man once said
But I'll not complain for I'm sheltered, I'm clothed and I'm fed
But many’s the trial my wants and my dreams put me through
And the only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
Chorus:
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
With all life's frustrations I need you and I know I do
Cause the only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
The higher I soar in my dreams, the harder I fall
And sometimes I've wondered if dreams are worth dreaming at all
But my disappointments can't keep me blinded and blue
Not when I'm reminded of sweet peace I have Lord in you
Chorus: (repeat twice)
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
With all life's frustrations, I need you and Lord knows I do
Cause the only eal peace that Ihave dear Lord is in you
Ending: The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
But many’s the trial my wants and my dreams put me through
And the only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
Chorus:
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
With all life's frustrations I need you and I know I do
Cause the only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
The higher I soar in my dreams, the harder I fall
And sometimes I've wondered if dreams are worth dreaming at all
But my disappointments can't keep me blinded and blue
Not when I'm reminded of sweet peace I have Lord in you
Chorus: (repeat twice)
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
With all life's frustrations, I need you and Lord knows I do
Cause the only eal peace that Ihave dear Lord is in you
Ending: The only real peace that I have dear Lord is in you
