December 25
Luke 2:1-7 (NKJV) And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Merry Christmas!! It is Christmas Morning! All our devotional time has been working up to this very day. I pray you have a very merry and blessed day in Him, beloved. As you face your day, remember the greatest gift ever given ~ Jesus.
We have spent so much time in His Word and in prayer ~ seeking Him for help, wisdom and strength ~ that you should be “armored up” and ready to face anything that comes your way. When you are faced with “that relative” who may be a thorn to you ~ be a blessing. Show the love and grace that you have been shown. All the patience He has had with you ~ give that out.
In fact, pray for your day right now. Pray for the things/people/situations that have been difficult in the past. Pray that those people come to know Jesus and live for Him. Pray that today would be so different from every other time your family gathered that it be a “day only God could have made” kind of day.
Seek peace. Seek love. Seek Jesus.
Merry Christmas ~ Laurie Kay
