The Peace of the God of Peace - it is wonderfully possible to have real personal peace even in a world at war. Most of the world’s people have longed for peace, but the world continues to be at war. The peace of God, from the God of peace, can rule in our hearts if we let it rule in our hearts. “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ”

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” - (Philippians 4:7)

For generations, most of the world’s people have longed for peace, but the world continues to be at war.

Evolutionists attribute this to ages of violent evolutionary struggle; the Bible attributes it to sin!

But it is wonderfully possible to have real personal peace even in a world at war. 

This is what the Bible calls “the peace of God.”

And it surpasses all human understanding because it is provided by the God of peace, for the writer continues, “The God of peace shall be with you” (verse 9).

The God of peace! 

There are some wonderful promises associated with this beautiful name of our Lord. 

For example, “the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly” - (Romans 16:20). 

Also, “the very God of peace sanctify you wholly” - (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

The provision of God’s perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3) is specifically invoked in 2 Thessalonians 3:16: 

“Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means.” 

Perhaps the greatest promise of all is implied in the concluding prayer of the book of Hebrews: 

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ” - (Hebrews 13:20-21).

There is only one other reference to the peace of God:

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful” - (Colossians 3:15). 

The peace of God, from the God of peace, can rule in our hearts if we let it rule in our hearts. 

Then, as promised in our text, it will also keep our hearts!

(There Will Be) Peace in the Valley (For me) - Elvis Presley

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm tired and so weary, but I must go along
'Til the Lord comes and calls me away
Where the morning's so bright and the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as fair as the day

[Chorus]
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me

[Verse 2]
Well, the flowers will be blooming and the grass will be green
And the skies will be clear and serene
Where the sun ever beams in this valley of dreams
And no clouds there will ever will be seen

[Chorus]
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me

[Verse 3]
Well, the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb
And the beast from the wild shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am

[Outro]
There will be peace in the valley for me some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh, Lord, I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me someday

The Meaning of Shalom in the Bible - when Jesus meets his disciples after the resurrection, he continually says to them, “Peace.” Jesus reconciles us to God. He does so by taking on himself the curse of sin so that all who are united to him by faith receive his blessing of peace. God the Father treats Jesus as the wicked deserve to be treated and experiences unimaginable inner agony - infinite pain so that we can know endless peace. Jesus is the Prince of shalom who will bring in God’s kingdom of peace

Jehovah-Shalom: The Lord Who is Peace - as they worshipped the Midianite gods, God handed the Israelites over to what they so greatly desired. Gideon cried out to God. God called Gideon (through an angel of the Lord) who admitted he was from the weakest clan and was the least in his family. God uses the lowly to bring about salvation and freedom time and time again, especially in His Son, Jesus, who died to redeem all of creation. Jehovah Shalom means ‘the Lord is peace’. It identifies God as the source of ultimate completeness and harmony

Rest in His Sacrifice - headlines are dominated by news of ongoing conflicts. Given these turbulent times, finding peace seems nearly impossible. Nevertheless, the Lord who is called Sar Shalom, who dwells within us, is our PEACE ... He is our Prince of Peace. The reality of our identity, our completeness in Yeshua Jesus, is a real foundation for resting in His peace in the midst of real threats and serious turmoil, that passes all understanding
