Be my Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)

 

For a child is born to us,

A son is given to us.

The government will rest on his shoulders.

And he will be called:

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Christmas Prayer

When I am on my knees,

Be my Prince of Peace,

Ward off the enemy!

 

When I tremble with fear,

Be my Prince of Peace!

For no one can be just as strong

And mighty as you,

 

You have been all along…

And forever you are true…

You are my…Prince of Peace!

 

Insight on this Poem:

I wrote this poem out of  Christmas blues.  Overall, I know that Jesus is my Prince of Peace when there is no peace within or without.  Furthermore, he is the One who stands out in this world as the emblem or the mark of Peace.  Where else can you honestly find that peace?  No where!

Especially now, in this time of dismay and unrest everywhere, we all need an anchor, he is.  Moreover, we all need a Rock to stand upon, he is.  Indeed, he is everything we have hoped for in God.  As well, he meets our every need, even when the essentials are no longer there, he is the essential  .  Whether you be on an island by yourself, he is there.  And even, in the bottom of the ocean still alive, he is also there.  Presently, you can embrace him, you can even hug him spiritually.  Additionally, he is alive and there for you!  Therefore, if you have an illness, he can heal you.  If you are hungry, he will feed you!  Seek him wholeheartedly!  He is your Friend!

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this
