The Secret of Peace
April 23, 2018
The Lord of peace himself give you peace.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Grace is a very special lady. One word comes to mind when I think of her: peace. The quiet and restful expression on her face has seldom changed in the six months I have known her, even though her husband was diagnosed with a rare disease and then hospitalized.
When I asked Grace the secret of her peace, she said, Its not a secret, its a person. Its Jesus in me. There is no other way I can explain the quietness I feel in the midst of this storm.
The secret of peace is our relationship to Jesus Christ. He is our peace. When Jesus is our Savior and Lord, and as we become more like Him, peace becomes real. Things like sickness, financial difficulties, or danger may be present, but peace reassures us that God holds our lives in His hands (Daniel 5:23), and we can trust that things will work together for good.
Have we experienced this peace that goes beyond logic and understanding? Do we have the inner confidence that God is in control? My wish for all of us today echoes the words of the apostle Paul: May the Lord of peace himself give you peace. And may we feel this peace at all times and in every way (2 Thessalonians 3:16).
Dear Lord, please give us Your peace at all times and in every situation.
Paul, Silas, and Timothy were the first to share the gospel in Thessalonica. The response to the gospel of free grace in Christ was remarkably positive (Acts 17:14), butas is often the casethe positive response to the gospel was accompanied by opposition and persecution (Acts 17:56; 1 Thessalonians 1:6; 2:2). Thus Paul was forced to leave the city of Thessalonica sooner than he had hoped (Acts 17:910). His concern for the new congregation there motivated him to write two inspired letters to that young church. As he completed his second letter, Paul stressed the peace that only Jesus Christ can offer (2 Thessalonians 3:16). The apostle was no stranger to trials, yet his confidence that everything would work out in Gods sovereignty gave him a deep, abiding peace that he wanted other believers to experience. The Prince of Peace is the source of the believers spiritual rest.

We celebrated Patriots day a couple days ago. I have been doing my genealogy and found William Tutus Mershon was one of three wounded in the battle of Trenton. He had a broken shoulder and was bayoneted in the thigh. A person can find lots of interesting things if they happen on the right place.
