Prince of Peace. As the prince rules, peace develops. He is thorough and complete in what he does. Peace is the harmony that comes from putting everything together so it fits. I try to get peace by getting rid of what irritates me; God gets peace by restoring everything to health. I try to get peace by getting rid of what I don’t like; God gets peace by loving the unruly and unlovely into a life-changing salvation. I try to get peace by saying, “Shut up. I don’t want to hear it anymore”; God gets peace by saying, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
