Great Peace Have Those Who Love Your Law,
And Nothing Cause Them To Stumble.
Psalm 119:165
Peace- It Is The Ever-Elusive,
All-Consuming Desire Of Every Person.
It Always Seems Just Beyond Our Reach
An Impossible Goal In A World Gone Mad.
But This Scripture Gives A Promise
For Peace That Easily Be Realized By Anyone.
It Says That If We Love God's Word, an
We Will Have Peace.
The Word For Peace Used Here Is
The Well-known Hebrew Word Shalom.
We Tend To Think Of Shalom Merely As A Simple Greeting.
It Does, Of Course, Mean Peace, Safety, And Tranquility.
Yet Inherent In The Meaning Of The Word Is Completeness,
Wholeness, Health, Prosperity, Fullness, Rest, And Harmony.
Thus Peace Is Much More Than The Absence Of War And Conflict;
It Is The Wholeness That The Entire Human Race Seeks.
Where Do We Need The Wholeness Of God's Peace In Our Lives?
Will Naturally Be The By-product.
