Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 

Luke 2:13-14, NIV

This Advent season we are reminded that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. We enjoy an inner peace knowing the spirit of God lives within each of us. God’s favor rests with us and we are encouraged to spread the good news to all ends of the earth so that all may enjoy God’s peace. This is a season to be an angel of peace for those in need. Let us celebrate with love and joy, praising God’s goodness and the blessings he bestows on us. 

During this time, pray the spirit of the Lord will help to create a greater peace in our society. Pray for increased wisdom and discernment for community and world leaders to act in a way that brings honor and glory to God. As we await the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ we should act in brotherhood and sisterhood and be servants to those in need.
