Peace on Earth!

This song brought great comfort to me in the past few years of troubles for our family.  The truth is this world is full of trouble that sometimes threatens to drown us in our fear and sorrow - "in despair, I bowed my head, 'there is no peace on earth!' I said, 'for hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will toward men.'"  But we remember the truth, that God is Sovereign - "The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will toward men!"  We are so thankful that over 2,000 years ago God humbled Himself and came to earth for us that we might spend an eternity with Him!  May this peace that passes all human understanding guard our hearts and minds this Christmas season and always. (reference Philippians 4:7).
