Luke 2:14
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.”
Devotional
In the heat of battle, peace can feel out of reach. Yet, the message proclaimed by the angels on the first Christmas night was one of peace—a peace that transcends understanding. Luke 2:14 reminds us that this peace is not dependent on circumstances but flows from God’s favor and presence.
As warriors, we face trials that test our resolve and shake our foundations. But in Christ, we have a peace that stands firm, even in the chaos. This peace is not the absence of conflict but the assurance that God is with us, guiding and strengthening us through every challenge.
This Christmas, let the Prince of Peace reign in your heart. Amid the trials you face, trust in His promises and rest in His favor. Remember, the God who sent His Son into the world to bring peace is the same God who stands with you in every battle.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your peace through Jesus. Help me to trust in Your presence, even in the midst of trials. Guard my heart and mind with Your perfect peace, and let it guide me through every challenge I face. Amen.
