I have to write about peace for this Friday’s fruit because that’s what I am feeling now. Beautiful peace. Shalom, shalom. I had two huge things going on one with my health and another with business. Things that would normally make me fret. But I have been praying and asked others to pray for me and I feel perfect peace just waiting on God to provide.

" Thou wilt keep him (her) in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he (she) trusteth in thee. Trust in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord GOD is everlasting strength" Isaiah 26:3-4

The word shalom derives from the root shin-lamedh-mem (ש.ל.ם), which has cognates in many Semitic languages, and means completeness, fulfillment, wellbeing, harmony, a concept usually encapsulated by translation in the word well-being. (Wikipedia) This sheds new light on  “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem”

God says those who wait on Him will be blessed. (Isaiah 30:18) Praying for His will and listening for an answer always the wisest action we can take. That’s how God’s Spirit leads us--gently. We don’t determine our course by human reasoning or by appearances in the world. There are things in the spiritual word we don’t know—God is taking care of of all of it.  Our  job is to follow God.  He is the one who instructs us in the way which we should go. (Psalm 32:8)

When we give it to God and wait to hear from Him we are keeping with His plan. When we follow  God’s timetable He blesses u by giving us the peace and strength to deal with  is that difficult circumstances (and sometimes difficult people) .

Peace comes when we understand God  knows everything and  all outcomes in all our situations.  We must give over our worries, moment by moment, to Him and then we experience His Peace.. Trust and   God will lead, peace will always come with our obeying His will. When peace comes, keep following His lead. He never fails.
