October 9 Peace on Earth
Luke 2:14: 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.”
Glory to God in the highest and peace to all who receive it! Heaven is full of the glory of God and when Christ was born on Earth, that reflection of Glory fell upon the Earth. (no one knows the exact date) What happens in the presence of God’s glory. Sometimes, we get glimpses of His glory on Earth.
In that glory:
Worship: We fall down worshiping God; our spirits soar on the wings of worship and we cannot stop. We would not be able to be indifferent, bored or in darkness in His glory. Suddenly a veil is torn off and we see things in the Spirit, we see God on His throne of Glory and we see Christ and the Holy Spirit overcomes us with love, adoration, praise and wonder.
Joy: In the presence of His glory, our joy is complete, this joy is supernatural, beyond our understanding, we are filled with incredible joy in the presence of His Glory. On “Christmas night”, no one knows the exact day, Earth was filled with God’s Glory.
Peace: In His glory, we are filled with incredible peace. Again, this peace is beyond human emotions. There may be times when we get incredible peace in a situation. Know that you are in the Presence of God’s glory at that time, in the Holy Spirit, who fills us with peace.
In today’s world, there is no peace and wars and crimes increase. When we read the Word of God, we have waves of peace cocooning us. When I read the Book of Luke, the forgiveness of Jesus struck me and I was convicted, believed, had an epiphany of who Christ is. The peace and love I experienced was out of this world. In reality, I was in the presence of the Glory of God.
Christ was predicted as the Prince of Peace, Isaiah 9:6. The world is at war with God; sinners are at enmity against their Maker and against each other. There is no peace to the wicked. But Jesus came to make peace.
Die to flesh so you can live by the Law of Love! God is calling us to love one another and forgive one another. In the days of the Millennium (1000 years rule of God), there will be universal peace and all wars will cease! We will be in peace with Heaven and God and this is the center of His glory.
