Faith: Your Passport To Peace and Joy

By Kathi Pelton

The Christmas season is such a beautiful time of the year but it can also be a time when financial pressures mount, busyness increases and anxiety can rise. If you feel yourself succumbing to stress rather than peace— help is found in FAITH.

As you feel yourself begin to strive or fret, know that it is time to first remind yourself of God’s faithfulness; His unfailing love and His promises. Ask the Holy Spirit to your soul from the place of anxious thoughts to the truth of His faithfulness. It takes faith to believe— but that is where you began in Christ and it still remains the path to Him. He alone is your peace and joy.

Your faith ushers you to Him and in his faithfulness, he will lift you above every anxious thought. As you get seated with your Prince of Peace in Heavenly places to regain how you view life and to have your peace restored.

Peace and joy are promised to all who believe— but believing takes faith. Faith is your spiritual passport to take your soul to so many beautiful destinations.

Remember, God does not delight in those who put their trust in the strength of men but He delights in those who put their trust in the fear of The Lord (Psalm 147:10-14).

The joy of The Lord is your strength today! His peace will guard your heart and mind as you put your faith in Him once again.

Faith truly is the antidote for the fearful heart—
