Daily Dose 12-15-16

Micah 4:3 (MSG) He'll establish justice in the rabble of nations and settle disputes in faraway places. They'll trade in their swords for shovels, their spears for rakes and hoes. Nations will quit fighting each other, quit learning how to kill one another.
         Each man will sit under his own shade tree, each woman in safety will tend her own garden. God-of-the-Angel-Armies says so, and he means what he says.

When will these last days Micah prophesied about come to pass? There is such a longing for peace on earth. There is such despair among nations and distrust among our own. Jesus came to help us find His peace. Is this prophecy saying what the world could be like if all came to know Him? Like the stereotypical beauty contestant calling for world peace, the concept is too large to grasp. However, if we seek each day to bring the peace of Jesus to our circle of influence, there is hope. Don’t look at the condition of the whole world and feel despair; look to those around you and let them know Jesus cares.

Father, I have no great power or influence in the world. I ask that you empower me and other believers to begin being the influencers you intended us to be in our part of the world. Be with Your missionaries who are facing trials to spread Your Good News! Amen
