Peace Himself

2 Thessalonians 3:16 KJV
Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

What a prayer for these afflicted saints of God. Paul prays not nly that they have peace, but that they receive that peace from the God of peace.

He wants them to have peace always• In whatever the circumstance
• In whatever the timing
• In whatever the surroundings

Peace always means peace whenever the rest of the world has no peace and whenever peace is not possible by human means

He wants them to have peace by all means
• God may give that peace through fellowship with others
• God may give that peace through a time of rest among peoples
• God may grant that peace through physical rest
• God may grant that peace through the Word of God
• God may grant that peace by some supernatural means
• God may grant that peace through prayer

Whatever the means God chooses to use and whatever the situation the believer finds himself in God, through the Apostle, expresses His desire that His people have peace.

May the Lord make it so even in our day.
