In the Reading for Thursday of the First Week in Advent, Isaiah tells the people of Jerusalem to “Trust in the Lord” (Isaiah 26:4).  With their city under attack, they are afraid.  If they trust in God, Isaiah reassures them of God’s peace.  During Advent we await the Christmas celebration of the birth of Jesus, God’s Prince of Peace.  Christ brings peace with self-giving love.  Peace from vulnerability is different that peace from power.  It requires trust in God.  How is your trust in God?
