   The Hebrew word for 'peace' is 'shalom'; it refers to a sense of well-being that produces calmness and confidence, even in a crisis. It's assurance in the midst of uncertainty and confusion. Those who have an immovable, unshakeable, rock-solid trust in God are those who experience genuine peace of heart. 

   How do you acquire such peace? First, know what God says in his word and believe it. Make God's word the foundation of all you believe and, therefore, of all you say and do. You must take God at his word and surrender your will to his commandments and his plan. You must root your expectations and hope in his promises and his desires. True peace of heart is always built on truth - the truth of who God is, who you are 'in him', and how God wants you to relate to him and with others. To know God's truth is to experience God's peace. As you seek to bring this kind of peace to the hearts of others, you are acting like your heavenly Father. 

   It's God's desire that you be reconciled to him and experience salvation and genuine heart peace. Our message is this: 'Acquaint yourself with him, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you' (Job 22:21 NKJV). Paul put it this way: 'Having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ' (Romans 5:1 NKJV). Our ultimate role as peacemakers is not simply to see men and women at peace with one another but also at peace with God.
