Based upon the Word of God, the birth of Christ gave us our Prince of Peace. No matter what may be going on around you today, you can still live in peace. Scripture encourages us not to let our hearts be troubled. In other words, don’t meditate on all the negative things in this world to the point that it steals your peace.
The enemy’s goal is to steal your peace. He tries to set you up to get you upset. But, when you choose to receive God’s peace, then no weapon formed against you shall prosper!
Today and during this holiday season, if you have fear, worry or anxiety about anything, recognise that those feelings aren’t from God, because He has promised to give you a spirit of Peace, power, love and a sound mind. There is tremendous power in peace. When you are at peace internally, you can think more clearly. You can hear the voice of God more easily. You’ll make better decisions. Even your physical body responds to peace.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27, NIV)
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, thank You for Your gift of peace in my life. Father, I choose to receive Your Son as my Prince of Peace. I carry Your peace in my heart and hold it close to me always. God, I receive Your Word as truth and life to my soul, in Christ’s name! Amen.
