Happy Advent! Are you into the Christmas season with all that there is to do? Grab your latte, reheat your tea, and spend some time together. Let's look at the seven ways in the Christmas story, taken from my new devotional, "The Road to Bethlehem, An Advent Journey," to reflect on the season's peace. The angel’s announcement to Mary reminds us of the miracle of Jesus’ birth, a gift of peace to a world in need. Through His name, Immanuel, meaning “God with us,” we are reminded that God’s presence is always near, bringing assurance and calm in every circumstance. Just like the shepherds who rejoiced at the birth of Christ, we, too, can find lasting peace in the promise of salvation. This week also calls us to treasure the moments we experience God’s presence, just as Mary treasured His promises in her heart. Through His unfailing love, expressed in the gift of His Son, we discover a peace that heals our hearts and strengthens our relationships. The presence of Jesus brings calm to life’s chaos, and resting in Him allows us to experience a peace that surpasses understanding. Finally, we are reminded that true peace comes through faith. The shepherds trusted God’s Word, showing us that faith in His promises anchors our hearts in His peace. As you reflect on these truths this week, please rest assured that the Prince of Peace is with you, calming your heart and guiding your steps. Take time this week to reflect on these truths. Let the peace of Christ guide your heart as you treasure His miracles, rest in His presence, and trust in His promises. May the peace of Christ fill your heart and relationships this week. If you’re seeking a deeper experience of His presence this Advent, The Road to Bethlehem is the perfect devotional to guide you.
