For the LORD your God has arrived to live
among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness.
With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a
happy song.
(Zephaniah 3:17 NLT)
Anxiety attacks. Worries weary. Stress increases.
Pause for peace. Peace embraces. Peace calms. Peace blesses.
This peace makes no human sense.
Peace be with you. Jesus promises. Immanuel comforts. Mercy refreshes.
When Jesus enters the room, the disquieting thoughts flee.
Heads turn. Do you see Him in the face of a newborn? Or hear Him in the chortle
of a toddler? Or notice him in the momentary sparkle of a teenager’s eyes?
Will you pass Him as you hurry from store to store? Will you
smile or scowl? Will you see Him sitting at the window of a nursing home, lost
in memory? Will emotion overwhelm you when that loved one enters your mind?
When will peace appear? In our moments of quiet doubt? In our moments of loud fears shouting, “Why bother?” Or in the deep joy of knowing everything matters?
Peace will come, always showing up, when we least expect.
Peace dispels all fear. It only takes a moment to light a candle in
the dark. To sing a happy song.
When Peace enters the room, our eyes meet. All is well once
again.
