Prince of Peace

Regardless of how the election goes today, you will still have work to do in the kingdom, you will still have friends and family you disagree with, and you will need to find some solid ground on which to stand. Take time today to read these famous words from hundreds of years before Christ was even born, anticipating the great, great need of a world to embrace the true Prince of Peace.

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.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
- Isaiah 9:6-7

As you reflect on those words today, can you slow your roll enough to let it sink in that Jesus is indeed here for you this day as your Prince of Peace?

And then take a deep breath and ask for strength and clarity about where to join with him in establishing and upholding his kingdom with justice and righteousness.
