Live in the Light
December is the darkest season of the year. It is no accident that December is when we celebrate the birth of Christ, who came to be the light of the world!
Magnify the Lord
The beautiful and joyful song of Mary in Luke 1 begins with the statement, “My soul doth magnify the Lord.”
—But what does that really mean?
Longing for Christmas
During the weeks leading up to Christmas, we often focus on longing. But why? Longing seems incompatible with a season of light and joy and hope, but it’s actually an essential part of Christmas and our Christian lives as well.
Waiting for Christmas
Ever have a hard time waiting for Christmas? I have. But to have to wait at Christmas time is actually a blessing.
Prepare Him Room
December is full of the busyness of Christmas preparations. But it is easy to overlook the most important part: preparing our hearts.
Give Thanks for God’s Mercy
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and, for many, the Christmas season has begun. But gratitude to God should be more than just a November event. Our hearts should be giving thanks all year round for the manifold blessings of the Lord.
Give Thanks for God’s Goodness
Many times in Scripture, we are called to “Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good” On the eve of Thanksgiving, what better time to take another look at the goodness of God!
Give Thanks for God’s Sovereignty
In Revelation 11:17, the twenty-four elders in heaven worship God, falling on their faces and saying, “We give Thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy great power, and hast reigned”
They are giving thanks to God for His power on display as He reigns over all creation. We call this the sovereignty of God.
Give Thanks for God’s Trustworthiness
Have you ever stopped to consider the importance of the fact that God is trustworthy? Psalm 118 calls us to give thanks to God, highlighting the attribute of His trustworthiness.
