2 Thessalonians 1-3

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all. (2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3:16‬)

I find this particularly encouraging today: “...peace at all times in all ways.”

  • Peace in the morning
  • Peace at midday
  • Peace at night
  • Peace as the absence of conflict
  • Peace in the midst of and in spite of conflict
  • Inner peace
  • Outward peace
  • Peace in my family
  • Peace in my neighborhood
  • Peace in my country
  • Peace in all families
  • Peace in all neighborhoods
  • Peace in all countries
A few days ago I read that the US Navy had ordered 9 nuclear submarines at a cost of 22 billion dollars. I wonder how many homeless shelters could be provided at the same cost. Peace.
