In the midst of changes and turmoil

It can be easy to forget that peace is rooted in something deeper than systems

And leaders and policies.

These things do matter, and they should genuinely serve the people they are created for,

But they are not supreme

They are not in charge

They are not infinite,

They are secondary to our Great King

They bow down to the Leader and Creator of the Universe

They are finite.

So as the world rotates and power changes

Let us, yes, use our voices to fight for those on the margins and not turn a blind eye to injustice,

As our Lord did,

But let us also remember who our savior really is

And that His way will prevail

And on the other side of where we are now things will make sense

And we should remember, where we are now, that its ok to wonder about the things that don’t make sense, and its ok to lament and ask

But we ought never to lose sight that Peace is our foundation, and Peace is a person who hasn’t and isn’t forgetting about us.
