Let's deep dive into biblical wisdom for the modern world. These weekly meditations and reflections on select Bible passages are designed to encourage your faith and strengthen your walk with Jesus.

The Christmas season, often celebrated with aspirations for "peace on earth," can paradoxically become a highly stressful time that leads to anxiety and a profound lack of peace.

Like many ages before ours, we are confronted by instability where businesses close, governments may shut down, and essential resources can seemingly dry up. This environment breeds anxiety, fear, and sometimes a deep sense of hopelessness. The primary, stabilizing idea we draw from this passage is foundational to Christian confidence: Jesus is the sovereign shepherd, and therefore, His sheep are absolutely secure.
