Good Monday Morning!
How are you coming along with your Christmas shopping? I don't know what your December calendar looks like, but mine is quickly filling up with holiday activities — parties, decorating, wrapping gifts, addressing Christmas cards, attending Christmas programs, baking, caroling. If we are not careful, we can find ourselves wearing out before Christmas arrives. Hebrews 4:9-10 gives us good advice when it comes to building in time to rest. “Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his.” Are we keeping the true meaning of Christmas in our hearts and minds? Are we taking time to rest and spend time with the Lord in prayer and in His Word?
Father God, thank You for the gift of rest. Help us to remember the importance of rest. Guide us to focus on the only true reason we celebrate - the precious gift of Your Son, Jesus. Thank you, God, for loving us. Amen.
