Good Morning!
I pray all is going well with you this morning –
Merry Day-After Christmas
Holding on the ‘merriness’ – that is a challenge ,
believe me, I know
Generally, this day brings
forth silent and spoken declarations of
‘I’m glad it’s over!’
And I know Christmas may
not have been what everyone hoped for –
My best friend unable to fully
enjoy Christmas because her mom in the hospital
My son’s unable to fully
enjoy Christmas because his mom contracted COVID-19; my son’s other friend
unable to fully enjoy Christmas because his dad, a surgeon, has to quarantine
to avoid COVID-19 – both are waiting to ‘do Christmas’ in January
The challenges of 2020 –
and life in general – do not stop on Christmas day or the day after;
But neither do the
blessings and peace which are made available because of Jesus
The blessings of the LORD are NEVER-ENDING!
This means that the LORD
is always in control and His peace is constant
No season ending;
No after-Christmas sale;
No thwarted plans for
celebration;
Not even an explosion on
Christmas day in Nashville, TN;
No ‘thing’ can put an end to the works of God – for His presence & peace to rule in our lives
Yet – we still must choose,
every day, to receive all of who He is and what He brings
Trust me, it is a battle worth contending for!
His rule, His reign, His peace – they are for every
season
The celebration of His
presences is not just for the Christmas season – it is forever
IT IS NEVER-ENDING!
This morning –
let nothing rob you of the peace & joy made available through JESUS
Keep trusting, keep
hoping, keep believing
Keep embracing all of who
He is – all of His attributes of love,
joy, peace, power & provision
He
is the LORD God Almighty!
‘May the LORD of peace Himself
give you peace at all times in every way. The LORD be with you all’ 2
Thessalonians 3:16
Have a Blessed Day!
‘Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD God is an everlasting rock.’
Isaiah 26:4
