Peace, according to the dictionary means freedom from disturbance. While in the Bible it actually means not just the absence of trouble or conflict, but the calm in the midst of the storm, according to Ephesians 2:14.
The Hebrew meaning of Peace is Shalom, meaning wellness. We live in a world full of war and violence, yet God promises us great, perfect peace
Psalm 29:11. Peace even in the midst of trouble, we all need peace. Everyone desires peace. I don't know anyone of sane mind and decent character, who would chose conflict and chaos over peace.
We all have one or two things we are disturbed by, so peace is a universal need and God has an answer for it. The Lord didn't promise that we will live a problem free life, but He did say we will have His peace.
This peace is from the throne room of God. Not the type of peace the world gives, like peace through yoga meditation, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, music, medicine or whatever. It's the great, perfect peace of God like a river that surpasses all human understanding. Halleluyah!
God wants to give you true peace. You cannot experience that if you are not at peace with God, the Prince of Peace Himself. Let's stop looking for peace of mind when God wants to give us mind of peace. Peace regulates the day when Jesus Christ regulates the mind.
No peace without Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace Himself. Isaiah 9:6
