Isaiah 7:14 NLT
All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).
The season of Christmas is loved and cherished by so many people. I presume that is true for you and me as well. God have us His seal, His promise, His son and became part of us.
In the coming two weeks I encourage you to spend much time making much of Jesus. Look at the signs of the seasons, and point yourself, point others to the really meaning and the strength that comes from pursing what matters most.
1 John 3:16 NLT
We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
His love is the real deal. His love is what changes us and changes others. Real love is what Christmas was wrapped in way back then, and the best Christmas celebration continues to be wrapped in God’s best for us, which is His love.
Please be patient with me. This week and next are packed full of sharing Jesus and helping others, and there will be a few e-devotions. But they will be sporadic.
This following two verses stick out for me as the mantra for this Christmas. We are going to look to God, we are going to celebrate Jesus, we are going to make much of what really matters.
Galatians 4:4-5 NLT
But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. 5 God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children.
Wednesday I return to Cuba to serve with the FCA staff stay. Will you pray for this trip? Pray for details of the trip. Pray for travel. Pray for lives to be impacted for Christ. Pray for God’s word to be lifted high and Jesus to be glorified. I am excited but need your prayers.
