As the temperature changes and you begin to think about pulling out Christmas decorations and scheduling holiday parties, what is your attitude going into this season? What is it all about to you? The lights? The tree? The perfect tablescape? OR is this a season where you are more focused on the love of God and His provision? Do you recall why you are doing the things you are doing? Can you be proactive this year to remain anchored in Christ and fully enjoy this season?
As we are studying the book of John and the 10 Commandments - we see how God has ordered celebrations (feasts) at particular times, providing us simple directions to help us remain in step with Him and in our relationships with others. What will you do to put into practice those teachings that we are studying? Are you allowing the Word to renew your mind and breathe new life into the holiday season? How can you be more intentional about how you approach each aspect of this upcoming season?
Here are some ways to be more intentional: (1) RENEW your mind through the Scriptures- know what is important and why it is important. (2) RECALL His goodness- how God has been faithful throughout all of history (read in His Word) and in your own life (sharing stories of God’s working in your life). And, (3) REJOICE in this opportunity to share your faith! There may be times when you are just not sure how to share your faith with others. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the perfect time to share God’s love. Gather people together. Talk about His goodness. It is a time of celebration!
Remain ANCHORED in the truth as you REACH OUT to those around you with the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ!! He is what you really need. He is what they really need. To God be the Glory!
