Merry Christmas everyone!!!

A blessing of Christmas is to realize we made it to Christmas, actually it was coming whether we were ready or not.  Now, let us be praying for Christmas realization in everyone’s hearts, with Christmas commotion and commodity now to be calmed, if just for a moment. There is no power that could separate us from the love of Christ and the calming He gives us, if we tap into this peace and see His Work within our hearts. Therefore soak in the Savior over every situation. 

Recently I saw the glow of the Spirit in the glow of the face of a sweet young lady portraying Mary at a Living Nativity, she BEAMED! The cautious Joseph watched on… The scene a JOY in the middle of chaos as there was a swirl of family chitchatting, kids exuberant in running around, and animals all around. It was a sight to see, but mostly a moment of peace in chaos to know Christmas is Christ coming for you and me, for all. 

When Jesus came, it WAS chaos and confusing scenes in the land, times of upheaval and strife. But the few paying attention to the prophets were to know there would be a Messiah, the Lord above all, to be born in Bethlehem. Micah tells of the judgment of the people, but the Savior too, stating Jesus is to be known: AND THIS ONE SHALL BE PEACE.

Peace is a personal journey – let us all know a peace that comes from Jesus and shine this knowledge and contentment of our forever, if just for a moment, if just in a smile. 

Merry Christmas!

For now He shall be GREAT To the ends of the earth; AND THIS ONE SHALL BE PEACE.

AMEN

Micah 5:1-5, old testament, prophet states: The Messiah Will Be Born at Bethlehem

Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; He has laid siege against us; They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

The Coming Messiah

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me THE ONE TO BE RULER in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.”

Therefore He shall give them up, Until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; Then the remnant of His brethren Shall return to the children of Israel. And HE SHALL STAND AND FEED HIS FLOCK In the strength of the Lord, In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God; And THEY SHALL ABIDE, For now He shall be GREAT To the ends of the earth; AND THIS ONE SHALL BE PEACE.
