Scripture:
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them me afraid. About the Image: This was one of the first pictures I took that I actually wanted to show to people. I took it one morning when we were camping at the tailwaters campground at Douglas Dam. It was another one of those mornings when I got up early to get a sunrise - which didn't happen that day. (One day I am going to get a good one.) What I did get was the water quiet and still right before they turned on the turbines. I knew the water would soon be rising and moving rapidly, but right at this moment it was so quiet and peaceful . . . . and I was alone on the edge of the river; just watching. This is the second Sunday of Advent and at our church it is the Sunday of peace. These words of Jesus were spoken to the disciples on the night that He was betrayed. If you think about it - this is hardly a time for peace for the disciples. Their world is about to be turned upside down and Jesus promises them peace? For Jesus peace didn't come from the world - it wasn't a lack of strife. Peace came from his assurance in God, even when he was facing his darkest hour on earth. The same is true for us. Peace comes when we submit to God and let him lead us to quiet, peaceful waters. Peace to you, my friends.
