34 When Christmas comes around, we usually think about gifts. Now you may be more spiritual than I am, that’s fine, but I normally think about what I might want and what I’d like to receive under the Christmas tree! You might think of years when you gave away some truly phenomenal presents. You might be thinking of a year when you didn’t really get all that much. Remember that our God is a Father who loves us and gives us good gifts. He gave us Jesus, the ultimate gift, to demonstrate His great love for us! Jesus is our Prince of Peace. What I love about knowing that Jesus is not only Peace Himself, He freely offers to give us peace. We’re reminded of this in Psalm 29. God wants to bless us with His peace. His peace is not something that wears out, breaks, or disappoints. • Do you need to ask Jesus to give you peace today? • What has Jesus’ peace looked like in the past for you? DECEMBER 1 3 May the Lord give strength to his people! May the Lord bless his people with peace! PSALM 29: 11 “ Ronald Long Pastor of Middle School Ministries 34
