Finding Inner Peace

Isaiah 26:3-4 in Hebrew:

Comment:

One of the most well-known Hebrew words is shalom (שָׁלוֹם), usually translated as “peace.” The word comes from a root (שׁלם) meaning whole or complete. Shalom does not merely mean the absence of strife as much as healing, wholeness, and well-being despite the presence of strife. For example, after he wrestled with the Angel of the LORD, the Scripture says “Jacob came whole” (וַיָּבֹא יַעֲקֹב שָׁלֵם), connecting his painful struggle to receive the blessing with his healing (Gen. 33:18).  – John
