Perfect Peace...

An old, familiar verse came to mind this morning…

"You will keep him in perfect peace, 
Whose mind is stayed on You, 
Because he trusts in You."
Isaiah 26:3

I am remembering that the same Hebrew word, shalom, is used twice here in the original text for perfect and peace. The Lord is making a point.

Shalom, shalom! Perfect peace! Peace, peace! A double-portion of His peace.

Shalom (Hebrew): Completeness, wholeness, peace, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, and harmony.

Do you need one shalom in your life right now, or two? Choose to trust Him completely and strengthen your faith by setting your mind upon who He is and the promises of His Word. A double-scoop of His incomprehensible shalom will be yours.

Shalom...

Shalom...

"... And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, PRINCE of PEACE."
Isaiah 9:6b 

Shalom is...Jesus' Name...it is Who He is...it is what He is Prince of...it is what He came to give...and...it is what He does...

SHALOM (Hebrew) Meaning: Completeness, wholeness, peace, health, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony; the absence of agitation or discord.. To be complete, perfect, and full.

This is the peace...the wholeness...the entire human race seeks. 

It was for Shalom that Jesus suffered for us on the cross (Is.53:5), it is His promised future for those who chose Him instead of their own will (Jer.29:11)....it is the very heart of the Gospel (Luke 2:14).

What words do you need...right now....from the definition of Shalom? 

This is for someone...the Spirit is prompting me to tell you that you are looking to a person to bring you Shalom...it will never happen. Instead...pause and ask the Prince of Shalom to reign in your life...your circumstances. Because...

Wrapped up in Him is everything you could ever long for.
