We Can Have Peace

Our Father has given us the Sabbath for our rest. And He has also given us a promise of peace.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

And there remains a Sabbath for us (translated “rest” in the letter to the Hebrews).

Hebrews 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

Today, let us rest and have peace.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You are our King. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. You alone are worthy to be named King. Forgive us our sins. Heal us and deliver us from those that would steal from us what You have provided. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name. Amen.
