Today is Christmas day. Take some time to read the above scripture and praise God for the true meaning of Christmas. Focus on versus 13 and 14 — Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Choosing a life of walking on water with God, hand in hand with Jesus, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, gives you and I a peace that is hard for nonbelievers to fathom. Being favored by God doesn’t mean we will live a life that is free of troubles or struggles. It means we have confidence in the presence of our Lord, trust His direction, and have faith that His plan is better than ours.
On this Christmas Day, take time to reflect on the first Christmas. If today isn’t as joyous as you would like, allow God to comfort and strengthen you. Most of all, have confidence in His presence, faith in His love, and rest in His peace.
Let’s pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you for sending Your Son to be my Savior. Help me to feel Your peace that passeth all understanding. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
