Peace

In our exploration of the fruit of the Spirit, we delve into the profound concept of peace. This isn't just the absence of conflict, but a deep-rooted shalom - a wholeness and completeness that comes from God alone. We're reminded of the powerful imagery in Psalms 23, where the Good Shepherd leads us to green pastures and still waters, symbolizing the rest and peace He provides. The message challenges us to confront our misplaced expectations and the anxiety that often grips our lives. Are we treating Jesus as a mere 'value-added' to our lives, or are we truly surrendering control to Him? This lesson invites us to bring our worries to God, piece by piece, and experience a peace that surpasses all understanding. It's a call to trust in God's sovereignty, even amidst life's storms, knowing that true peace isn't about circumstances, but about His presence in every situation.
