Yahweh Shalom
"The Lord is Peace". This name stems from an interesting event in the life of Gideon. God has called him to serve and he [Gideon] has just realized that he has been speaking face-to-face with the angel of the Lord. Needless to say, Gideon was completely terrified and afraid he was going to die. That's when God says to him, in verse 23, "Peace to you. Don't be afraid for you will not die." It is after this, in Judges 6:24, that we see this name used.
Well, what this means for us: we have the ability to know true peace for our God is peace. whatever the situation, we are able to have peace through Him.
