God is the one who gives Peace. It is a gift. It came wrapped in the person of Jesus. It is not like the world's peace, which is fragile and man made subject to change. The peace of God is constant and is not a blessing that He bestows, but rather it is God Himself. How we need that peace! We need it between nations, between families, between the body of Christ. We need that peace as a bond, keeping things together, holding us close in these days of upheaval and unrest. Pray for Peace! Call upon God to fill you with His peace. Shalom is not just the absence of hostility, strife, and disorder, but it is also the condition and sense of being safe and secure. It describes the relationship between us and God, because Jesus took away the divisions between us when He died on the cross. If you are insecure in your heart, call upon God to change you inside until you feel His constant peace. He will do it.
'His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
