Day 8 | Peace in the Waiting
Dec, 7 2021
Audio only
When we are threatened or stressed or anxious and desperately longing for peace--or when it seems like all we’ve got left is just a stump--the promise “Just you wait” may still not put us at ease right away.
Faith requires waiting. At Christmas, we’re reminded that the waiting is worth it. In Jesus, God does bring peace—deep shalom, wholeness—even if it is yet unrealized in all the ways we’re hoping for. Let this ancient promise from Isaiah and its fulfillment in Jesus strengthen your faith that God can still bring about true and lasting peace.
