"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
Peace was my "word of the year". I struggle with anxiety and only when I rely on Jesus, do I have peace in my soul. Jesus is my Prince of Peace. He can bring a Peace into your life
that is unlike anything of this world. The Peace that Jesus offers you
is amazing. You can be free of your sins and the guilt that follows
them. You can be free of addictions and worship of idols. You can be
free of anxiety and worry (I'm working on this one!). You can be free
of so many things if you let Jesus take over your life. When you are
rooted and have Jesus as your Foundation, then Peace will enter your life.
I think the greatest Peace is that our life is already in the hands of
God. He knows everything that will happen. We just need to be still
and listen to Him. That's how I have experienced Peace in my life.
Giving control to God (who ultimately has it in the first place!). When I
give to Him what is rightfully His, then Peace follows.
Peace is something we all desperately need at all times of the year but
especially now. We are rushing around not savoring the meaning of this
season: the celebration of God's gift to us. We have received the most
important gift of all: Salvation!! Jesus came down to save us, why do
we overlook this fact every year? What is robing you of your peace?
Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
His peace can be never taken away from us. When we feel robbed of
peace, that is the false imitation of worldly peace that we feel gone.
This is one attribute that I continuously praise Jesus for this season,
but I don't feel very at peace but quite the opposite. Daily I need to
exchange my version of peace for Jesus' True Peace. How are you
incorporating more peace into your life? Is Jesus your Prince of Peace?
In His Love,
A
