He will be our Peace

Micah 5:2-5
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
    though you are small among the clans[b] of Judah,
out of you will come for me
    one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
    from ancient times.”
Therefore Israel will be abandoned
    until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,
and the rest of his brothers return
    to join the Israelites.
He will stand and shepherd his flock
    in the strength of the Lord,
    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness
    will reach to the ends of the earth.
And he will be our peace

God has been helping me to understand His Peace.  His Peace is regardless of the situation.  His Peace is from within and not from our external circumstances.  His Peace is when we yoke ourselves with Him, not running ahead of Him, not lagging behind Him, but walking beside Him.  "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."  Matthew 11:29

Dear Lord Jesus.  Help me to understand and the have Your Wisdom and live in Your Peace and in Your Rest.  Let me walk beside you as Your child.
