ADVENT DECEMBER 9

LIVE IN HIS GLORIOUS PEACE

 

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philipians 4:6 & 7 KJVR

 

As we remember the time of awaiting the birth of the Christ Child, I feel the waiting and anticipation of His second coming also. The news is full of reports of disease, fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, wars, racial strife, political rhetoric and anger, and mindless mass murders.

 

Only as I lift all these things up to God, can I remember they will all be gone when Christ returns. Thank you, God for this promise. Through this blessed season, may we think only of the good, the truth, the blessings we have and may we live in His glorious peace today.

 

Prayer: Father, we thank you for loving us enough to send your Son to become one with us, to die and defeat death for us.  Help us walk daily with Him and grant us your peace that passes our understanding.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
