The ARRIVAL ~ A Christmas Devotional - Day 8

Psalm 29:11 ~ The Lord blesses his people with peace.

As we celebrate Christmas, let’s pause and remember the moment when true PEACE entered the world. The birth of Jesus in a humble stable brought the long-awaited Savior of PEACE to a broken and weary world. In the midst of all the holiday chaos and the busyness of life, we’re invited to experience PEACE that doesn’t depend on what’s happening around us, but on the presence of Christ in our lives.

Psalm 29:11 reminds us that PEACE is a gift from God. It’s not something we can create or earn. It’s a blessing that comes directly from God’s heart to His people. This PEACE goes beyond just the absence of conflict—it’s about wholeness, well-being, and harmony with God, others, and ourselves.

Christmas is a reminder that PEACE isn’t just a distant dream for the future, but a real gift we can experience now, through Jesus. He is the fulfillment of God’s promise of PEACE. When we welcome Him into our hearts, we receive the kind of PEACE only He can give, a PEACE  that calms our fears, heals our wounds, and restores our souls.

This Christmas, let’s reflect on the true gift of PEACE Jesus brings. In the midst of shopping, celebrations, and all the noise, may we find time to pause and embrace the PEACE that’s ours in Christ. In Him, we find rest for our weary hearts, joy in our spirits, and the assurance that God’s PEACE  is with us always.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of PEACE that came with the birth of Jesus. Help us to receive and share that PEACE with others, especially during this season. May Your PEACE  fill our hearts and overflow to those around us ~ Amen
