Day 10 Experiencing Shalom
Psalm 29:11
The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.
My strength and peace come from God. He is the only source for true strength and true peace, but I too often forget and try to find strength in peace in other counterfiet ways. I want a quick fix. I want to distract myself. I want to pretend that I feel peace when I don't. I want pretend that I have it all together, or that I have it all figured out when I don't. Then, I wonder why I am not feeling peaceful. It is because I am looking for peace in the wrong places. Peace is found in surrendering to God. Peace is found in reminding myself that I am God's child. This is the only way to find true shalom to find shalom in God's presence.
