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, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
This year Christmas became a blurring whirl of shopping and activities. I am exhausted and glad the holidays are over. But, Lord, that attitude does not sound right.
Yeah, I did a lot spending but I did not spend enough time pondering the sacred night of Your birth or Your beautiful design of redemption. I did not honor You as You deserved. Oh Lord, forgive me. Please help me. I want to celebrate Your birthday the right way—with quiet wonder and heartfelt worship…
Questions for Pondering…
Why does the world want me to stay focused on the dazzling whirl and not the wonder and worship?
What are the various steps I can take to ensure that my main focus remains on Christ during the Christmas season?
