Give in to God, come to terms with him and everything will turn out just fine. Let him tell you what to do, take his words to heart. Come back to God Almighty and he’ll rebuild your life. Clean house of everything evil. Relax your grip on your money and abandon your gold-plated luxury. God Almighty will be your treasure, more wealth than you can imagine. Job 22: 21-25 (The Message)
As we prepare for the holidays, we need the words in Job
which tell us to have a peaceful state of mind. Jesus came to tell us our faith
has saved us. Our biggest gift or treasure of the Christmas season is returning
to God. The Messiah has come. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle we can
feel the peace Jesus gives us.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for sending your son to us. Help us
to put our traditions into the proper space so that we can come back to the
Almighty. May we put any evils of anger, jealousy, covetousness or fear away
from our house. Let us bathe in your treasure of Christ with us giving us more
than we can imagine. Amen
