“And she will bring forth a son,
and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”—Matthew
1:21
I want to encourage you today to
think on Christ’s birthday as an
on-going event in your life, and not just a one-day-a-year event that we as
Christians celebrate His birth. The day
of His coming was prophetically declared by Isaiah, the prophet, centuries
before the actual occurrence, “Therefore
the Lord Himself will give you a sign: ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear
a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). Sometimes we receive prophetic words but anticipate
and pray about the fulfilling of God’s plan.
Many people have done the same thing concerning the birth of Christ and are still looking for the
Messiah to come; however, He has already come and we must recognize His birth.
His
unconditionally love, is the gift that keeps on giving in our lives that no
matter what it is never taken away.
He loves us so much. He is
faithful, trustworthy, available at all times.
Prayer—Father
thank You for Your gift of Jesus to me, Lord help me never to take You for granite
and to always be aware that You are my faithful trustworthy friend, in Jesus
Name. Amen.
