“And Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the Lord is peace”). The altar remains in Ophrah in the land of the clan of Abiezer to this day.”
Judges 6:24 NLT

One of the gifts Jesus gave us is Peace. Peace of mind & Heart. The world cannot give us this. Only Jesus. The Lord is peace and his peace is available to you today. The world offers conflict , discouragement, chaos but God offers encouragement, order & love. His peace is perfect. He promises to be with us and since He is with us so is his peace. Peace is the freedom of intrusive thoughts & emotions. We can’t allow our thoughts or emotions to rob us of the free gift of peace the Lord has given us. It’s time to evict those thoughts & emotions that are trying to control us, stand in authority as a child of God & take back the peace that is already yours. The Lord has promised that He will keep us in perfect peace when our thoughts are stayed on Him because we trust him. I’ve been having a lot of anxiety lately about the unknown of what’s next and even when I’m around people. That is not Gods desire for us. He wants us to be at peace and experience his peace inwardly, it will then be shown outwardly. Trust in the Lord. He doesn’t fail. He is consistent. He is faithful. Even if you stumble you won’t fall because he holds you by the hand. He is peace. ❤️
