Daily Devotional – Why I love Christmas

I love Christmas. Christmas is a time with family and friends, crowded malls, shopping, egg nog, Christmas plays, exchanging gifts, more crowded malls, more shopping, etc.  It can drive you completely crazy but thats okay!

This morning, Max Lucado reminded me why i love this time of year.  Its the time of year where everyone and i mean EVERYONE asks, thinks, talks, reflects on Jesus.  Even non believers will be seeing displays of the manger or the three kings following the star.  The birth of Jesus, so humble so peaceful is a story thats being told every min of this month and as a Christian, I am aware that this is an opportunity to share Christ.

Do you know someone who loves this time of year and is not a Christian? If so, pray that the Holy Spirit move you in sharing what this time of year really means to them.  As followers of Christ, it is our duty to share the word of Christ to all.  This time of year just makes it that much easier.

Lets the season of sharing the Word of God begin!  Have a good morning – PJSLB

Thought of the night 11/30/16

Its been a day that seemed to go by so fast but nothing really happened.  I am amazed at just how uneventful this week has been.  With how i felt at the start of this week, i will gladly take that.

Lord, I would like to thank you for my family and everything that we have been thru to get us to the point we are at now.  Its a struggle at times, but when i see the laughter and love we have for one another and the love we have for you; it is all worth it.

I pray for safety for my family and loved ones tonight.  I pray for everyone who reads this; fill their needs Lord.  Show yourself so that once their prayers have been answered, there is no doubt that it is only thru your good grace that they have received.

I pray for anyone who is suffering tonight lord.  Heal them physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Send the Holy Spirit right now lord.

Finally, I pray for myself.  I pray lord that you continue to use me as a writing instrument in this book of life.  I thank you lord for using me despite me not being anywhere near perfect.

prayer

Good Night and God Bless – PJSLB

Daily Devotional – 11/30/16

If you own an iPhone, you need to have Max Lucado’s Daily Devotional podcast as it is the perfect way to start the morning.  With the podcast being only 1 min, it is short enough that you can fit it in with the hectic morning schedule and at the same time be filled with wonderful insight and encouragement from a Christian perspective on life.

In today’s devotional, Lucado focuses on “today’s problem not necessarily being tomorrow problem”.  He goes on to talk about not setting yourself up for failure.  Just because your dad was a drunk does not mean you will be one as well!  Lucado reminds us to “…stand against the wiles of the Devil” (Ephesians 6:11).  The complete verse reads as such in the bible.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Do yourself a favor, head over to the search button in your Podcast app and subscribe to Max Lucado’s Daily Devotional.  For Android or people who would like to listen on their computers your can find then here.  Itunes and Mac users can find them here.

Have a blessed morning everyone.  May God show his favor in all that you do. -PJSLB

Our lord reigns over everything under the canopy of earth. You either trust him in all or not. There is no half way. The good news is that he is always there when we fault and confess our sins.
Good night, God bless you all. – PJSLB
