If you tapped open your news feed and read “Peace Declared upon Earth,” would you immediately think it was a joke or maybe some kind of advertising? World peace is almost unimaginable today, but someday that headline will be the truth.

He makes peace in your borders; he fills you with the finest of the wheat.

Psalm 147:14

Jesus’ birth marked the point in history when such peace became possible. The angels even advertised it by crying, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace.” (Luke 2:14) God’s Son born under that proclamation will one day rule as king over the people and nations of Earth and establish global peace. The prophet Isaiah foretold of that magnificent time saying that the government will be “upon his shoulder” as He leads the people as their counselor, Lord, and “Prince of Peace.”

Praise God today for His mercy in revealing Jesus Christ’s place in history to you. Pray with compassion for those you know who are still at war with God in their spirit. Remember to pray for America during this election cycle, that each candidate will personally encounter Christ and accept His sacrifice. Intercede for the American people to select a leader in November who is willing to bow before the only One able to bring genuine, lasting peace.
