If peace seems elusive in your life today, commit yourself to God, commit your concerns to Him in prayer, and then rest peacefully as you trust in Him.

All the Christmas presents in the world are worth nothing without the presence of Christ.

Faith is the solid, unshakable confidence in God which is built upon assurance that He is faithful to His promises.

Our fleshly nature tempts us to put ourselves above others or seek a position or place for ourselves instead of allowing others to have it.

That’s the way it is with our Father in Heaven. When you became a son or a daughter, when you were adopted into His family, He opened up for you through His Son’s death on the cross a way of fellowship and relationship that makes it possible for you to bypass the temple and its animal sacrifices. You don’t have to talk to God through a priest. You can go right into the presence of God Almighty and He will hear you.

We are ever surrounded by undeserved blessings. Even in His silence, He blesses us.

When the peace of God follows the purity of God's wisdom into our hearts and lives, it will affect those around us.
