Christmas is over and the sense of relief feels the air. No more shopping for that perfect gift or the stress of the day. It's all done and the count begins for the next Christmas. I hope we did not get so busy, that we forget that the reason for this special day is the celebrate the birth of Jesus. Now we wait 364 more days until that special day. Remembering all the things Jesus has already done for us and the priviledge to be alive today.
THINK ABOUT IT ~
Our lives are just a vapor on earth. We aren't promised tomorrow or even the rest of today. Living your life in peace and the joys of Jesus is so important. We do live by a calendar and a clock of time. It's important to purpose this a good day and let God use your life.
Proverbs 27 New International Version (NIV)
Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring.
James 1:2-3 New International Version (NIV)
Trials and TemptationsConsider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
THINK ABOUT IT ~
We do allow days with titles to stress us out at times.
We are not alone in life. Jesus stands faithfully besides each of us and wants the best for us. Instead of counting down the 364 days, let us live in one day. Knowing that this one day may be our last night. Today is valuable in so many ways. What do we need to do in our today and stir our faith to believe in God greater? Do you believe and in miracles?
I can recall some miracles in my life. I was told by a doctor that my son had about 3 days to live. I immediately started calling people to pray. I believed in miracles and was holding on my for son. He was about 2 years old and his joints were swelling up. I have forgotten the name of the illness, but it everywhere his body would bend, the swelling only got worse. It was at the end of the second day that the doctor wanted to see him on the 3 day. It was there, that the doctor sat down on the floor and couldn't believe his eyes. Chad was standing next to me. The doctor said I don't believe in God, but after knowing what this boy had and now it's disappeared, it must be a miracle. He continued to say, "I believe in God now". Wow, tears were there and God moved greatly in that office. The doctor called his nurse into the room and said, "look at this boy, it's a miracle".
THINK ABOUT IT ~
The day after I heard the good news from the doctor about my son, I felt such a relief. My faith came alive at that time of life. Even today many years later, I find my faith growing just thinking about this story. The power of God is real and still alive today. God's blessings continue and I have so many of them. The doctor had expected my son to live about 3 days because it was rapid closely off his breathing. But God said, "he will live". WOW a miracle.
THE DAY AFTER ~
We call recall yesterday and either be excited or bitter. Make sure you count some blessings and steer yourself away from negative thoughts. Never grow bitter because it's profits nothing. There is power in the name of Jesus and miracles still happen.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
