Second Sunday in Lent

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Proverbs 3:17

Shalom. The traditional Jewish greeting is another word for serenity, peace. We all pray for it. We honor those who pursue it. And ideally, we work toward it.

The Sabbath itself is a day of Peace, a glimpse in a future world filled with it.Serenity and peace is a sense of wholeness, and of completeness. No additional ingredients are necessary. A sense of shalom provides us with the stable foundation necessary for continuing spiritual growth. We may not always be serene. In fact we won’t be. But we can always choose to pray for it.

This Sunday say a prayer for peace. Then give God a hand; begin to remove an obstacle to personal peace in your life.

Webb
