Isaiah 9:1-7
A number of years ago I had to complete some outdoor survival and team training. One of those events involved intentionally tipping the canoe you were in, flooding it and then reversing the process by getting the water out and then climbing back into the boat. All this had to be done in the middle of the lake. It sounds impossible but it can be done. The three of us in the boat, along with all the others, were unceremoniously dumped. The funny thing is that some people just screamed, some shouted orders and others complained because their peaceful ride was upset. This year has been filled with screaming, shouting and complaining. We have wanted peace our way but none has been found. In Isaiah 9:6 the final name describing the coming savior is Prince of Peace. This name describes one who rules because He has overcome every obstacle to a peaceful rule. Jesus, the promised child in Isaiah 9:1-7, came to offer the final solution to all our problems. Our struggle is that we, all too often; scream, shout and complain because our plan has been upset. Remember, Jesus came as the Prince of Peace. That means that He not only has the solution, He is the solution. May we be people who submit to His leadership and rule in our lives this year.
