Yom Shli-Shi, 2 Adar 8, 6001 – March 7, 2017
We Can Have Peace
Often when the word peace is mentioned we think of no war, or perhaps a settled feeling. These things do represent peace. But in scriptures there seems to be an even deeper meaning to this word when it is the Hebrew word shalom. Here the word has the fuller meaning of being well, being happy, and being prosperous. All these things would likely be associated with a time of peace by us. We can have this peace with our Father, if we will just call out to Him. If we will seek His face and turn from our ways, He will give us His peace. If we will praise His name, the joy of the Lord will be our strength. We need Him to be with us in these troubling times in this earth.
Psalms 118:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5 I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.
6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7 The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
If we look to the news around the world, it becomes more clear everyday that we need this peace.
Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let Your will be done in this earth. Send us today Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed against us. Heal our hearts and minds. Deliver us from the evil that attempts to mount up against us. We need Your shalom among us. We need Your deliverance from those that plot against Your people. Only You can deliver. We ask You to rise up, O King, and deliver us. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus (Yeshuah), our Messiah. Amen.
