S(2 Thessalonians 3:16) Now may the Lord of Peace Himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Paul had just written about apocalyptic crises as well as commonplace, household complaints, yet his assertion was that God's peace was available against the whole range of human disturbances. It's always available. It's always available in every circumstance. Why? Because the Lord is always with us. Wonderful!

It's one thing for me to have finally believed Jesus and that my believing His blood justified my forgiveness...why did I ever wait so long? It's the next discovery after believing Him for my salvation that He makes His peace available to me in the midst of all my experiences: repentance, joy, grief, anger, correction, celebrations, etc.

Lord, You have made so many good things available to us! I'm finding myself less intimidated by life. As I experience the unpredictability of human life, I'm learning to eagerly look forward to the many facets of Your peace. Seeking and enjoying Your will is the calm center of life's storms. Thank You.
