Playbook: The Game Plan for Navigating TemptationEgzanp

Have you ever thought about what it means to have peace? In Hebrew, the word for peace is “shalom.” It means to be complete or whole. Nothing is missing, and nothing is broken. As followers of Jesus, that kind of total and complete peace is available to us. When we take hold of God’s peace, we know nothing is missing from our lives. God has given us all we need, and because of that, we don’t have to be tempted to believe anything else. Instead, we can simply have peace in all God has done for us.

What’s the most peaceful place you can think of? Maybe it’s a spot in your home, a place you’ve visited, or somewhere outside. If you can, go there to spend time with God. Think about the peace God promises to give us when we trust that God is all we need.
