ADVENT ~ Week 4

UNWRAPPING JESUS'
PRESENCE - PRESENTS

in
ISAIAH 9:6

Image result for prince of peace


Although there are still other names left for this 4th week in the
"Unwrapping the Names of Jesus"
devotional
it's
already
Christmas Eve
and tomorrow is 
Christmas Day
so
we'll
just ponder on
this
One
Name
JESUS

PRINCE

of

PEACE
the last One in this verse in
Isaiah 6:9

and for me

this

CHRISTmas
and
year of 2017
I'll seek my Healer in this

Prince of Prince

[famous painting by Akiane]

knowing

that this Peace that passes all understanding

the Peace that Jesus took special time to

impart on His disciples and us in

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

"What does it mean that Jesus is the
Prince of Peace?"


I'm pretty sure in years past, here and in actual Christmas cards, I had one that looks exactly like that blue image above and also partly why every year, I have chosen "The Cutest Blog on the Block' background with the 'magi', but my header also use to have that silhouetted manger scene because that is where the Star leads us to search and find our precious Savior that we celebrate each Christmas Day, His Birth into this world and into our hearts and lives as our Lord, our Messiah 

- the One who takes all our "messes" and turns them into a message of His Redeeming Love; the rich blessing of His salvation born in us, the true "miracle" possible in everyone's life that He makes a way for us through the many "mazes" in our journey to arrive at that place where the Prince of Peace bestows His aMazing Grace; His Love, Joy, Hope and Peace. 

This is my Christmas wish for you and your families as you spend time together; that JESUS be the center of this season and indeed the very reason we live and breathe to bring Him front and center, all the glory, honor and praise, He so deserves, as we surrender to His way all of our ways and await the glorious reign with Him in eternity, where we shall rest in final Peace ... Shalom and a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year! ~ Peggy


the

PRESENCE

of

Jesus

is found in

His

Peace

May you be found and delight

in His Presence

every day

and

may

the Peace that

passes all understanding

be yours when it isn't

so easy

that

we cling to

His promises and power

given us in 

His Word

His Peace

His Presence

  1. Such a beautiful post and sweet Christmas wish...you know this was wished for you as well...now this song is playing in my head:

    “The Only Real Peace”

    Life is a few days of trouble, a wise man once said
    But I’ll not complain
    For I’m sheltered I’m clothed and I’m fed
    But many’s the trial my wants and my dreams put me thru
    And the only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you.

    The only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you
    The only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you
    With all life’s frustrations I need you and I know I do
    Cause the only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you

    The higher I soar in my dreams the harder I fall
    Sometimes I’ve wondered if dreams are worth dreamin’ at all
    But my disappointments can’t keep me blinded and blue
    Not when I’m reminded of sweet peace I have, Lord, in you.

    The only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you
    The only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you
    With all life’s frustrations I need you and I know I do
    Cause the only real peace that I have, dear Lord, is in you.

    Thank the Lord for His real and perfect peace!

    Love,

    Karen
