Shalom Friends!

Shalom means much more than peace. It is all-encompassing for every area of life. It means to be whole, to be complete, totally sound, to have prosperity in health, wellness and tranquility, to be content or at rest.  When someone asks you how you are in Hebrew, it literally translates to what's your peace?

So I ask you, what's your peace today? Do you need to be made whole in some way? Do you need a break from anxiety, worry and the cares and stresses of everyday life?

There is a place that God invites us to every day, as long as it's called "Today" that is free from worry and fear. Jesus, as The Prince of Peace, wants to extend peace into every situation that appears hopeless or is troublesome. 

There is a place of peace and rest today. God is waiting for us to let go of any unbelief, disquiet and resistance to His voice and enter His true and lasting peace and rest.

Hebrews 4:1-3, "Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed. Now we who have believed enter that rest." And verses 7-11, "Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish."

Today, I invite you to receive the peace and fulfillment God has prepared for you. Shalom!
