Suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of heavenly hosts saying…………

“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
Luke 2:14 NASB

They ask for a sign, but they still don’t believe. About 750 years before Jesus birth, God gives the Prophet Isaiah these word’s. May the Holy Spirit convict your heart today, that you might believe in someone who lives today, through his Holy Spirit. This is the true spirit of Christmas!

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.7.14.NASB

Key point in this verse. We don’t do good, to bring attention to ourselves, but to God. The temptation is to make it all about ourselves, and that takes glory away from God. May out light shine bright, for HIS sake today and everyday.

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 NASB

Are you in despair and struggling through something? Have you lost hope, are you going through the valley of the shadow of death? Fear not and do not lose hope. Open your bible and read the whole Psalm. See how the Psalmist, talks to God and himself as he struggles through this difficult time. You are not alone. This life is full of trials that will either break you, or draw you closet to God. I pray it is the latter for you you today. Please feel free to share you requests for prayer, or your praises in the midst of your trials. Would love to lift you up in prayer, or sing praise of joy with you. God Bless.

Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God— soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God.
Psalm 42:11 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/psa.42.11.MSG

You and I, need to really think hard and Long on this passage. This is not a suggestion, it IS a command. I want us to think about who our enemies might be. Take some time to pray about what it might look like to Love our enemies! If we want to change our city, our, county, our state, our nation, our world, what would it look like, to Love our enemies? I know it has to start with our own changed heart, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Grace of God, through Jesus. What will we do, how will we take action? It is certainly a great time of year, to do something! Would you agree? Praying our Christmas season of giving, will include our enemies. Have a Blessed day.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
Luke 6:35 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/luk.6.35/420

I acknowledge and declare before the whole world, that Jesus is the Son of God. How about you? If not, how can we pray for you, that God might do a work in you, like he had us.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/1jn.4.15/1765

May we pour out our hearts and souls to you today, Lord. May we confess, our weaknesses and failures before you. May yourself to us in a mighty way, not for our own selfish desires, but for your Glory! Amen.

‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:3 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jer.33.3/2180

Praise God, that we have a God, who keeps his Promises, in spite of ourselves. He cares for us deeply, and desires relationship with us. He has provided that way to him through Jesus. I never get tired of remembering the high price that was paid by Jesus, that we might have this access. If you don’t know this Jesus, please ask, if you have questions. God Bless.

“For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, But My lovingkindness will not be removed from you, And My covenant of peace will not be shaken,” Says the Lord who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.54.10.NASB

May we humble ourselves today Lord, that we might receive power and strength, to accomplish what you would have us do today. Amen!

He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Isaiah 40:29 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/isa.40.29/20818

We live in a culture that says, do it your way. It says, I am in control of my own destiny. This is a lie from the pit of Hell. It is a path that will lead to an eternity of separation and damnation. WE were created to submit to a Holy God, that is here to guide us and Love us, that we might find fulfillment in serving and walking with him. We have access to him through his Holy and perfect son, who freely gave himself up, to take the penalty, and give life to ALL who believe in him. It is a gift, and cannot be earned, lest anyone should boast. Won’t you consider this gift in faith, and give yourself up, that you may have access to the Father who gives life, through Jesus Christ, and no other. He is the ONLY way to God the Father!

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.
1 Chronicles 16:11 NASB
