Jehovah Shalom預覽

Today is a reminder to you that we, as believers, can always rely on Jesus’s promise in the Gospel of John that states, 

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful” (John 14:27).

Because of Christ’s sacrifice for us on the cross, we are reconciled to God and have ultimate peace with Him: 

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). 

This does not mean that we will not face troubles or tribulation but that we will know peace in the midst of turmoil because God is with us: 

“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). 

As we learn, like Gideon, to smash our idols and find true shalom in the presence of our God, we will find that the peace of God that surpasses all comprehension will guard our hearts and minds through Jesus (Philippians 4:7). In obedience, we will trust God even in the midst of our turmoil, and we will learn to call Him Jehovah Shalom.
