Writers and speakers typically use the 3-point system when trying to illustrate their message. I especially prefer to use this format to support my topic for more than one reason:

It is not too little - making my readers feel cheated or it is not too much - causing them to be bored.  Plus, by keeping the reading time reasonable, it increases the odds that you all will read my entire article 😊.   Moreover, I like what the #3 represents.   Specifically, the #3 has numerous Biblical connections -below are just a few:

         A.    Three, shelosh[f.], sheloshah [m.] (in Hebrew) means: harmony, new life, and completeness.

         B.    We see God repeating a phrase thrice in several places in Scripture -which shows He really means it!

         C.   The Trinity represents The Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.1

Staying true to my writing structure, I want to share how God revealed 3 specific words that are so intertwined Biblically that their spiritual equation leads to His promise of Peace

First, begin with Prayer!  Come to His throne with everything: whether big or small.  Prayer is conversational and He wants to hear anything you have to say.  Second, Purpose!  He has given you gifts/talents/abilities and with them, you find a path that aligns with His will for your life.  Thirdly, Patience! His timing is NOT ours.  This is the hardest of the 3 because we live in a society that promotes “instant gratification”.  However, God lovingly waits on us, and as we spiritually mature, we will see the value in waiting for His perfect timing.  There is a saying, “God is never early or late-He is right on TIME”!

Ultimately, when we recognize that Prayer (talking to Him) + Purpose (letting Him Guide us) + Patience (trusting in the “when”), we will see how their totality = Peace, the kind “that surpasses understanding” (Philippians 4:7).

Additionally, with the summation of Peace you will not miss the incredible Holy, Holy, Holy splendor of the Trinity- Father1, Son2, and Holy Spirit3! 😇

Great reminder how to experience peace! I love how the Holy Spirit also shows us things in threes when He wants to get our attention! Sometimes it’s through scriptures and others times it’s in circumstances around us!

Yes, 3 is a magic number. At first I read it and thought it was a bit short. When I read it again I came to the realization that the 1st P has to be more intentional with me. I guess with Purpose I am wondering can that change as we grow? I feel mine may have.
