TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people." Luke 2:10
TODAY'S WORD
, Jesus' coming to earth was good news. It would bring joy to all people because He would reconcile them to God. This Christmas, let us remember that Jesus came to bring joy. Not just the joy of giving and the joy of spending time with loved ones, but the joy of having our sins forgiven, the joy of a life committed to God, the joy of having a purpose on earth and an eternal home in heaven.
There are many things that steal our joy - things like selfishness, busyness, and unrealistic expectations. Even though it's Christmas time, we can find ourselves lacking joy. King David knew that sin kept him from experiencing God's pleasure. When he repented of his wrongdoing, he asked God to "Restore to me the joy of your salvation" (Psalm 51:12).
Let Jesus bring you joy this Christmas by surrendering yourself completely to Him.
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for coming to bring joy into the world. Bring joy into my world and forgive me of my wrong doings. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
| We sure love you!
