Looking for Peace By Billy Graham • December 24 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace.” —Luke 2:14, NKJV The centuries have rolled by, and still the world longs for and looks for the peace the angels sang about on that first Christmas morning. Even the land of His birth often seems torn by violence and conflict. “Where is His peace?” you ask. I’ll tell you where it is. It abides in the hearts of all who have trusted His grace. And in the same proportion that the world has trusted in Christ, it also has peace. Yet our world continues to be torn by wars and unrest. I know of no country that is completely safe or completely at peace. The greatest war of all, however, is the war between us and God, as we stubbornly rebel against His authority and defiantly seize control of our lives apart from Him. But now the war can be over, as we yield ourselves to Christ as our Lord. Then we have peace—peace with God, peace in our hearts, and peace with each other. Is the war over in your life? Hope for Today Lord, I could never do for myself what You have done. I give complete control of my life to You. Fill me with Your peace, and let me be an instrument of that peace to a broken and hurting world. | ||
