Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!
Luke 2:14
As the shepherds were out in the fields, suddenly an angel appeared to them and announced the birth of Jesus. Then they heard a multitude of angels singing and praising God. Heaven was rejoicing loud and proud.
Jesus is God’s goodwill toward humanity and He came to bring peace that surpasses understanding. Even during trying circumstances we can have the assurance that through Christ, we can experience peace in our hearts.
Take a moment each day to reflect on this promise and intentionally seek the peace that comes from a relationship with Jesus. We may never see peace on earth but as long as we have Jesus in our heart, we have a peace that helps us overcome and endure everything we face.
Do you have peace with God through the person of Jesus Christ? Praise God just as the heavenly host rejoiced and let the world know that you have peace.
Pray
Lord, I thank You for the source of true peace. In a world filled with turmoil, help me to experience the peace that only You can provide. Grant me the wisdom to turn to You in moments of distress, trusting in Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
