And peace is a Person. Peace is a choice: “whose mind is stayed on you.” Despite our excuses, we absolutely, hourly, daily choose where we anchor our minds. Peace is a Person: “He trusts in you”—as in God Almighty. Not our culture. Not our country. Not our savings accounts. Not our hopes. Not our dreams.
