JEHOVAH SHALOM- PART TWO (11 OF 15)
Jehovah Shalom- Part Two (11 of 15)
Series: What a Wonderful Name
Ernest L. Easley
Judges 6
Shalom Ya'll!! Shalom is more than a greeting, it is a possibility! The good news is that you can experience peace; you know, peace like a river. The kind of peace God was talking about in Isaiah 66.12, ''Behold, I will extend peace to her (Jerusalem) like a river.''
Do you remember singing that chorus growing up? ''I've got peace like a river, I've got peace like a river. I've got peace like a river in my soul. I've got peace like a river, I've got peace like a river, I've got peace like a river in my soul.''

-Why has all these things happened to us?
-Where are all the miracles?
Gideon sounds a lot like us sometimes: ''Lord, if You are with me, why is my life such a mess? Why aren't You stepping in and working a miracle in my life like You've done in the lives of others? Where is my miracle?'' Gideon was about to learn something we need to learn:
We will never know peace while living in rebellion against God!
Now how could the Angel of the Lor ...
