In this blessed Christmas season with its many festivities, Christmas programs, Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, Christmas baking, etc., we must not forget the real reason for the season!
The following quote by Oswald Chambers spoke to my heart, and I trust it will to yours also.
"The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God. Let other things come and go as they will; let other people criticize us as they will; but never allow anything to obscure the life that "is hidden with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3). Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him."
So let us "be still" and take time to worship the One whose birth we celebrate! The songwriter said:
"Take time to be holy. The world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret with Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see."
May God bless you as you prepare your heart for the coming Lord's Day!
