Believers often repeat these words to each other:
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
-- Numbers 6:24-26
Why? ...and, where would you look for an answer? How about above?
But the wisdom from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, open to reason,
full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
-- James 3:17-18
We make peace from the peace given to us by God. And, when we are committed to this peace of the Lord, we sow a 'harvest' - a harvest of righteousness. Fascinating how peace and righteousness are connected - seeds and fruits of each other. Consider the opposites and how they work....
What Wisdom! And, what Bounty we have in Him!
