Peace – we are all looking for it! The reality is, as we have learned from this past election cycle, peace is FAR from the hearts of Americans these days. And while the pointy finger of blame is flying, the Bible tells us why there is no peace: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14, ESV)
I’m Dr. Matthew Lee Smith and I want to share some Hope For Today to remind us that God gives peace to anyone and everyone with whom He is pleased!
But peace is a “heart thing,” not a head thing. So many of us are looking for solutions to bring peace to our lives … on Amazon.com I can buy:
- Books on peace
- Peace pendants
- Peace sign vinyl decals for my car
- Peace flag to display
- Mugs with peace quotes on them
- Peace jewelry
- Peace and Harmony calming scent
- Sterling silver stud peace earrings
- Peace locking pencil box
And that was just the first two pages of 20 pages of products. However, I was UNABLE to buy what we all really want: Peace itself!
Hear me now: Only God Gives True Peace. If we learn nothing else this Christmas, let us understand that
Peace is found only through God’s Son, who came to Earth to gift us with the one thing we do desperately need and want!
So, how does God give us this peace?
- God points us to HIS SON (2.11)
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Whatever else you hear today, please hear this: God sent His Son for you!
God knows you have a need, and He knew the only solution to your need was His Son!
Peace isn’t a formula; It’s a person!
11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
God is asking you to invite Him in to take charge of your life and BE YOUR GOD!
You can ask Him to do that today, right now.
God will hear your heart as you ask Him to take charge of your life and BE YOUR GOD.
