Glory to God

Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others - the armies of heaven - praising God and saying, "Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased." (Luke 2:13-14 NLT)

Today's meditation:

• Interesting that it is the armies of heaven that show up at Jesus' birth singing about peace on earth. Reminds us of when Jesus said he could call legions of angels to save him from the cross, but instead, he came not to change political world order but to change the human heart, to cover our sin with his blood, and to offer peace. Sing praise to God!

Pray today:

• For the people of Emmanuel College to please God by our firm faith, by our persistent prayer, and by our unwavering obedience.
• For the peace of God to overcome anxiety and fear in every perilous and uncertain circumstance.
• For our praises to rise to heaven and join that of the angel armies in declaring, "Glory to God in highest heaven."

Pray First! Pray Through!
