Be True to the Lord

Love the Lord, all his faithful people! The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but the proud he pays back in full. Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.—Psalm 31:23-24 (NIV)

Are you true to the Lord? Are you getting better at letting go of your control and entrusting Him with your most important cares? If this is something you struggle with you are not alone. Consider this: God’s greatness is infinite. Nothing is beyond His power. Absolutely nothing! He is limitless.

Father God, You are miraculously working in my life. I am in awe of Your greatness. Because of You, nothing is impossible!

God of Peace

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.—1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

Challenges are a part of life, but they don’t need to be your sole focus. Shift your mind away from turmoil. Turn to your Heavenly Father. He knows what you are going through. He can help you rise above your confusing emotions to a place of order and peace.

Heavenly Father, You are my direct connection to Perfect Peace. In an ever-changing world, You are my constant Source of Love and Light—of wisdom and harmony.

Signs from Above

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.—Matthew 2:9 (NIV)

Soon after Christ’s birth, the Wise Men followed the star that led them directly to where the Holy Family was staying. What was that miraculous light in the sky that we call the Star of Bethlehem? In a sermon, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale speculated that perhaps that important star was actually an angel. “Look for angelic messages in your life,” he advised, “not just at Christmas but every single day of the year.”

Dear Lord, may the glory that You sent to the Wise Men so long ago shine on us, around us and through us as long as we live.

His Word Made Flesh

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God.—Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

Merry Christmas! The day you have been preparing for is finally here. The day that the Son of God became one of us for our salvation. Fill your heart with joy and gratitude. Give thanks for the miraculous birth of Jesus—the Savior!

In the words of Corrie ten Boom I pray, “Lord through Your Holy Spirit, help me to understand so much of the victory and joy of Your coming to earth that I enjoy Christmas more than ever before.”

Bask in the Joy

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.—1 John 4:9 (NIV)

The Gift of a Savior!

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.—Luke 2:11 (KJV)

What Does Jesus Want?

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!—2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV)

Planning Your Path

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.—Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

As you prepare for Jesus’ coming, consider this: each and every day Jesus is planning your future and preparing blessings for you to discover on your path. Some gifts are designed to help you grow in faith. Others are signs of His presence to reassure you that you are not alone and that because of your faith, anything is possible. Life is amazing!

Let Go of Worry

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.—Psalm 94:19 (NIV)

Unfortunately, worries and problems don’t take a vacation during the holiday season. If you are upset about something, take a moment and tell God about it. Give words to your worries and then let them go. Let them rise above to Him for His care.

Lord, I release my fears and problems. I trust my future with You and look forward to finding the peace I deserve this Christmas because I know all is well in Your hands.

Give Yourself a Present

The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.”—1 Kings 19:7 (NIV)

In the above verse, Elijah is feeling down and the angel of the Lord nudges him toward self-care. As you go out of your way doing good deeds and finding the perfect gifts for others, don’t forget to give yourself something special, maybe a new prayer journal or a book that touches your spirit. Or send a donation in your name to a charity that means a lot to you. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

Lord, thank You for teaching me the importance of taking care of myself and nurturing my spirit.
