Isaiah 9:6 – 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 Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
So many are desperate for peace and especially at this time of year.
Jesus came, not only to save us from our sins, but also to give us peace. He is the Prince of Peace. The Hebrew word for Peace is Shalom, but it means so much more than just “calm”. It means to be whole and complete, to completely destroy the authority of chaos in our lives. That sounds amazing, doesn’t it?
How do we get His Peace, His Shalom, in our lives?
It’s available for all who believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who came to save us from our sins. When we put our trust in Him and only Him, we will have peace.
Are there areas of your life where you are you feeling a lack of peace?
Family, finances, friendship, an overloaded schedule, employment, health…the list can go on and on, can’t it?
Will you take your concerns to the Father and allow Him to give you His PEACE that surpasses all human reasoning and understanding?
Will you trust that He is a good Father who is always working all things for your good?
Will you surrender and allow Him to have His way in your life?
He will never fail you. He is your Prince of Peace.
