Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way..... 2 Thessalonians 3:16
If you feel like peace is lacking in your life ask yourself if you are seeking it in the right place. Even though this verse was a benediction to what Paul was really saying, it is still packed with so much truth. God is peace, God wants you to have peace in your life and God can provide you with that peace...at ALL times and in EVERY way. It may be time to take a look at your life and see what you have in it that is taking away from the peace God desires to give you. Ask Him to search your life and your heart, and to get you to a place where He can bless you with peace. Paul wrote in the verses 6-15 with words of warning. I think He was trying to say be careful because these things can keep you busy, cause you problems and take away from real peace in your life.....but The Lord can bring you true peace. Sometimes we can get wrapped up in things that may not "send us to hell", but they aren't adding any value to your life either. But once you have found God's peace, you will never want what the world has to offer again!
