Peace on Earth This Christmas

As I type this, my mailbox has filled with emails warning me of death and destruction, disruptions and decimations all over the world. Those who claim humans are evolving toward betterment don’t read much, do they? No, the nature of the humankind is to destroy. Even the second law of thermodynamics says that things break down, they don’t improve themselves. Energy dissipates.

So at Christmas and during the holiday season, as we sing of and pray for peace on earth, it’s easy to be disillusioned by the reality of the world we’re living in. Drones, drones, drones. War in Ukraine, in the Middle East, and people all around the world picking one side (usually the side against Israel–odd, isn’t it, how things usually break down like that?) against the other.

That’s why it’s so important to remember that Peace is a Person–it’s the baby in the manger, the One who sent His Spirit to give us peace in the most trying situations. He is Peace in the midst of strife, fear, want, poverty, and grief. He is Peace in all things, and through all things.

So cling to the Prince of Peace this season. As long as you have Jesus, you have Peace. You just have to rest in Him.
