Give Peace a Chance

I found yesterday that I am just not as patient as I thought. I continued to find myself frustrated by one situation or another. Wow. I did the study and then learned a little more about myself. Well, today, I am focusing on peace. Hopefully, I do not have to be humbled again.
I really like that graphic. So does Mackenzie. Again, today's topic is peace. So, I guess I should start with the phrase: "No Jesus, No Peace; Know Jesus, Know Peace". I try to stay away from cliche, but I really couldn't resist the urge on this one.

Judges 6:20-24

The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread, place them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And Gideon did so. With the tip of the staff that was in his hand, the angel of the LORD touched the meat and the unleavened bread. Fire flared from the rock, consuming the meat and the bread. And the angel of the LORD disappeared. When Gideon realized that it was the angel of the LORD, he exclaimed, "Ah, Sovereign LORD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!"

But the LORD said to him, "Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die."

So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

I do rely on the spellcheck on this thing and snice I cna't use it, I am srue taht tihs wlil be mseesd up. Of course, I just did that on purpose. Anyway, I thought to put the scripture about Gideon in here due to the name of the altar that was built for God. The LORD is Peace is the name. I tried to find a picture of the altar, but I was unsuccessful. But here is a map.

And because I just couldn't stop looking, here is an altar that would either be the altar in question, or something pretty close and similar.

I've decided that since time is of the essence and I just don't have all that much of it today, I will pick up on this tomorrow. Johnny Out.
