You know, when we hear the word peace, we usually think of serenity. Maybe silence. Sure, that’s part of it.

But here’s what I’ve learned: I need peace when my life is in chaos! And God gives us peace . . .  even when our world is in turmoil. 

Think about Mary giving birth to Jesus. She was the absolute picture of peace. But Bethlehem?  Anything but peaceful! Just like our world today is filled with political tension, economic pressure, and rampant secularism. Yet Mary had peace.

Remember what Paul wrote to the Philippians? He said that God’s peace protects our minds and hearts when—get this!—when, in faith, we release our resources. 

So let me ask you something. Would you be willing to step out in faith with your giving in order to share the light of Christ? 

Every gift you give at year-end shows your confidence in His provision. It demonstrates trust that He’ll take care of you while you’re taking care of His work. 

This Advent season, your contribution to Insight for Living brings this “peace that surpasses all understanding” to everyone who hears, just like a bright lamp, through our radio broadcasts, digital platforms, and all of our companion resources. 

Together, as pilgrims living in dark times, let’s share the Prince of Peace!
