"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the
devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1
Peter 5:8
He is out there just waiting to steal your joy! Has he succeeded with
you? This has to be one of the deceiver's favorite and most
successful times of year. Just look around you or in the mirror. Many
are in a festive-frantic hurry, scribbling to-do-lists one
after the other. Some are dreading the "holy-days" due to
illness, loss of income or separation from loved ones.
I pray for you, especially now. We still have a choice on how we
feel about CHRISTmas. I pray you stop each day and find a few quiet
moments to remember the reason for the season. Remember the gift that
can't be topped, the one that you can share or "re-gift" yet also
keep... the incredible gift of eternal salvation... thank you Jesus!
So, say a pray to our Father, listen to some wondrous CHRISTmas music, read His
Word... or just stop, and take a breath of thanks. May your attitude be
one of gratitude. Just don't feed that lion!!
we are loved and chosen by God,
veneal
