“All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.” Psalm 25:10
Can it really be just December 1? Stores everywhere have been full of Christmas decorations for months. For weeks, ads on the television and in the newspapers have been encouraging consumers to buy, buy, buy those Christmas gifts and decorations, so we can prepare ourselves, our families and our homes for the Christmas season. We have been pushed and shoved to hurry up and get with it!!
So how can we just slow down and not rush this celebration of Christmas?
We just need to - STOP - and focus on the one really important part about this season - the birth of the baby Jesus.
During this month of December, we just need to focus on “the steadfast love and faithfulness” God gave to us in the gift of His son Jesus!!
Each morning as we wake up during this month of December, we need to take a deep breath and remember this baby, born in a stable, who came to save us from our sins. Jesus, his life and his ministry, provides us with the perfect example of steadfast love and faithfulness.
Our full attention needs to be on Jesus, so we can be filled with Jesus’ love and faithfulness, and then in turn, we will be able to share Jesus’ love and faithfulness with everyone we encounter in our daily lives.
We need to remember to ask God to love all of God’s children through us.
REMEMBER JESUS EVERYDAY!!
Amen
Rev. Suzanne Ellis
