Peace

O. T. #2191  "Peace"

Micah 5-Part 3

LET IT GLOW

Friend, are you in need of some peace in your life today? Israel was too. Take a look at verse 5:

And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principals men.

In the Hebrew language, the word for peace is shalom, which means well, happy, favor, welfare.

When the Messiah comes the second time, He will:

*establish peace (verse 5)

*deliver the nation from its enemies (vers 6)

*empower His people to be victorious over its enemies (verses 7-9)

*destroy the weapons of warfare so there will be no more war (verse10)

*will destroy military fortifications (verse 11)

*destroy all witchcraft and idolatry (verses 12-14)

*destroy all sinful nations. (verse 15)

What a place to live! Peace will be in the land, among the people, and nations. However, it will not be until Jesus Christ returns to earth to reign as King.

 

LET IT GROW

Jesus said in John 14:27, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.

Do you have this peace, dear one? It comes by knowing Jesus as our Savior. Then we will not have fear of judgment with God coming, conflict, or guilt. We have assurance that whatever we go through now or later, we are not alone. God's Peace is with us. What assurance!

LET IT GO

Thank You, Father, for Peace being with us all day, every day, and forever. No one can take away our peace unless we permit it.

Let peace begin with us.
