The Lords Break PEACE ON EARTH - YAHWEH-SHALOM And Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means the Lord is peace). ( Judges 6:24 ) NLT Thoughts for Today Shalom! If you were to walk the streets of Israel today, you would hear this word used frequently--to greet people, to bid people good-by, as a greeting of peace. But shalom [shalom in italics] means so much more. According to Strongs Concordance, a word study in the New King James version brings up completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. The Lord is peace. In Him, we can find completeness . . . safety . . . rest . . . harmony . . . and so much more. Consider this In todays world, we see the antithesis of these characteristics. We see a world torn apart by strife, sickness, war, danger, unrest, poverty, evil, turmoil, and discord. If we dwell on these things, they will overwhelm us. Instead, let us focus on Jesus. On Yahweh-Shalom. He is peace . . . and only through Him can we find peace. Lord, I thank you that even in todays world, I can find peace in you. Help me not to be overwhelmed by the constant bad reports of the world. Help me keep my eyes on you and be enveloped by your peace. In Jesus name
