Lv 26:8

In Judaism, peace—shalom—is rooted in the Hebrew word shalem, which means “whole” or “complete.” True shalom implies that diverse parties purposely set aside their differences and agree to see the good in one another, not just living alongside but among one another for a higher calling or purpose. This devotional plan explores 12 different steps we can all take toward achieving shalom in our lives.

Jesus Himself said anyone who loves Him will obey His teaching. No matter what it costs us personally, our obedience matters to God. The "Obedience" reading plan walks through what the Scriptures say about obedience: How to maintain a mindset of integrity, the role of mercy, how obeying frees us and blesses our lives, and more.
