While We Wait: Experiencing Peace

True peace isn't just the absence of conflict but complete wholeness, described by the Hebrew word shalom. Jesus didn't come to end all earthly troubles but to bring peace between humanity and God through his sacrifice. Paul provides practical steps for experiencing supernatural peace even during difficult circumstances: choose joy, be gentle with others, live with eternity in mind, turn worry into worship, pray about everything, and be grateful. Your thought life directly impacts your peace, so be mindful of what you consume through news and social media. While circumstances may not change, God can transform you from within, allowing you to experience peace that surpasses understanding.
