December · Day 363 of 365

Rest in His Presence

Peace & His Presence

Scripture
“Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
— Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)

Reflection

The peace of God guards the heart. Isaiah 7:14 promises, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear…" It is a sentinel that stands watch when our own thinking would betray us. Today, let the peace of God guard your heart. Refuse to let anxious thoughts have the last word. Replace them with truth, with prayer, with thanksgiving.

Prayer

Prince of Peace, settle Your peace deep in my heart today. Where I am anxious, calm me. Where I am restless, still me. Amen.

Thought for the Day

How might I slow down enough to notice God today?
