Morel mushrooms, an animated Baby Yoda, a needle in a haystack… You can finish the sentence for yourself. Remote controls, keys, cell phones etc., all get on the list at some point. Some things are hard to find. Peace is one of those “things.” It’s more abstract than a material object but it is more elusive for many people than a Bluebird in a Michigan winter. For all the searching and all the effort, you’d think peace would be easier to find. One of my favorite Rock songs from the 70’s (sorry Mom), is Boston’s, “Peace of Mind.” The writer would happily have given up upward mobility and material wealth to have one thing, “peace.” I don’t know if he ever found it, the song was a longing with no conclusion. Of course there are many counterfeits to true peace. We know they are fake because they only provide short term relief. They mask the symptoms of anxiety and we can convince ourselves we are “fine.” “It’s fine, I’m fine, everything is fine.” But, deep down, we know that is a mantra without substance. The announcement of the angelic army had substance. Peace is available through a Person. Savior. Christ. Lord. Prince of Peace. According to the angels, peace is available to those on whom God’s favor rests. Does that make you curious? Does it make you ask, “How could I get God’s favor to rest on me?” Tune in Sunday…in person or online.
