Another pairing to catch me up on a daily basis. Lenten discipline is hard for me, but I’m trying. A Word. Peace. Years ago someone took a huge national poll to see what American’s wanted most. The winner by a large margin was “Peace,” or “World Peace.” Wasn’t that one of the main messages of Jesus of Nazareth. Peace be with you. We all want peace in our personal life as well as in the world. And so we pray to God, to God the Word, for peace. Perhaps someday all those prayers will be answered.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philipians 4:5
