Luke 2:14 ““Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Many may cry foul. Peace has not come to this earth. Ah, but you missed the other word, goodwill. And what does that mean? Well, put them together and you understand why all the world does not have peace. Indeed, peace is very illusive. This is because peace will accompany goodwill. And goodwill is a choice. Unfortunately, it is a choice we often fail to make. So where His goodwill is accepted, His peace is experienced. Where His goodwill is shunned, His peace is absent.
Heavenly Father, thank You for both Your peace and Your goodwill. May we be blessed to enjoy both! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
