GLORY TO GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Glory to God who is all-knowing and Almighty
He is faithful and is able to give you victory
Praise the Lord of heavens who created everything
Only he can deliver you from bondage and all sins.
He is the source of all wisdom and righteousness
He alone can bring all his promises into fullness
When you live a holy life, he is pleased
Awesome wonder is the Lord who brings peace.

The word “glory” in Hebrew is “kabod”, which means abundance, honor and splendor. Have you ever been with someone who was full of splendor or brightness? We, humans are inclined to go up and down. We sometimes are at the top of world and just in a few moments, we could be totally under such pressure that we can’s press on. Humans are very weak and sinful and it is almost impossible to have the glory on our own effort. This is why the Lord gave grace and mercy to those who love him and obey his will. He wants us to have the same glory and power he made us with, but we can only receive that by faith and by living a holy life. He deserves all the glory because he loved us first. ________________________________________
PRAYER
Lord, I praise your Holy name, you are most worthy of all.
REFLECTION
What is the reward awaiting those who bring the Lord praise?

PEACE ON EARTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
There is so much chaos and disorder in this world
This is not what God wants for us according to his word
He wants us to give glory to the highest heaven
He wants peace on earth on all his brethren
The real meaning of Jesus’ birth is peace on earth
It is not clamoring for gifts according to our worth
God is pleased when we embrace peace intentionally
He wants us to embrace it so we can live joyfully.

The word peace is defined as an absence of civil disturbance or hostilities, or a personality free from internal and external strife. The biblical concept of peace is larger than that and rests heavily on the Hebrew root slm, which means “to be complete” or “to be sound.” The verb conveys both a dynamic and a static meaning “to be complete or whole” or “to live well.”
I remember growing up in the church saying “Peace be with you”, bowing my head and greeting the other members of the congregation when that part of the mass comes. As the Lord has matured me through his word, I now know that there is much more to it. The bible tells us the real meaning of Jesus’ birth. It means peace on earth.
PRAYER
Lord, grant me peace in my heart.
REFLECTION
How can you relay peace to others this coming Christmas?
