Yesterday I returned home after a short trip away.
As I lay in bed at the end of a long day, I felt this incredible feeling inside... like everything in life is just in the right place.
This is what the bible calls peace or "shalom" to use the ancient Hebrew word.
It doesn't mean just absence of conflict, as we often think about peace. It's more about harmony- the harmony that comes from being in the right place, fulfilling the right role or position in life, being in harmony with God and with yourself.
The starting point for this harmony has to be in your relationship with God. We are all separated from God by our own rebelliousness. But God has shown us how much he loves us by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ to pay the price for our sinfulness.
I've found over the years as I have increasingly allowed God to lead my actions, my words, my attitudes, that this peace has increased in my life.
If you don't know harmony or "shalom", ask God your Father to pour His peace into your life.
Be blessed
Keith
