Luke 2:14 - Looking for Peace.

Luke 2:14 (NLT) Glory to God in highest 
heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is 
pleased.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   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? 
   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. [Hope for Each Day by Billy Graham]
