"All Is Calm" Luke 2:14

Our favorite Christmas Carol is Silent Night Holy Night because the second verse says, "All Is Calm." Luke 2:1-20 describes the birth of Jesus and verse 14 says "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." When we analyze this verse, we realize that the birth of the Son of God was meant to bring Peace on Earth. Did this happen? NO! Will it ever happen? YES! But only when Jesus physically returns to earth and rules and reigns during The Millennial Period. Well, can there be a degree of peace on earth now? YES! How can this happen? It happens through us His People spreading His love and care for all people each and every day!

Psalm 86 is entitled "Teach Me Your Way, O Lord" and reminds us to turn to The Lord each day with our prayers and requests resulting in us experiencing God's peace in our lives. {Psalm 86:5-12 as follows}

Vs. 5 - "For You, Lord, are good and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You."

Vs. 6 - "Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications."

Vs. 7 - "In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me."

Vs. 8 - "Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; nor are there any works like Your works."

Vs. 9 - "All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name."

Vs. 10 - "For You are great and do wonderous things; You alone are God."

Vs. 11 - "Teach me Your ways, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name."

Vs. 12 - "I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore."

We Praise The Lord For His

Love, Protection And Calm

Each And Every Day!

We Thank You Jehovah God!

Blessed Christmas,

God Gave {John 3:16}

"For God So Loved The World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Whoever Believes In Him Should Not Perish But Have Everlasting Life." December is traditionally referred to as the "Month of Giving." John 3:16 illustrates for us Jehovah God giving to all people the most important gifts of salvation, eternal life and forgiveness of sins. When a person receives Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior they also receive a relationship with God Himself. We are a blessed people because God Gave! Who can you give to this December?

An excellent reminder for all of us every day are portions of Psalm 138 reading as follows:

Vs. 3 - "In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul."

Vs. 4 - "All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord, when they hear the word of Your mouth."

Vs. 5 - "Yes, they shall sing of the ways of The Lord, for great is the glory of The Lord."

Vs. 6 - "Though The Lord is on high, yet He regards the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar."

Vs. 7 - "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me."

Vs. 8 - "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the work of Your hands."

We Praise The Lord

For His Love And Protection

Each And Every Day!

We Thank You, Jehovah God!

Blessings,
