“For to us a Child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Evelerlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. - Isaiah 9:6
In the midst of all the stress and madness of shopping, let's remenber why we are doing all of this.
Most of us acknowledge that Christmas is supposed to be about the "virgin birth" of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Many however have commercialized and trivialized Christmas to the point that the jolly guy in the red suit gets all the props and celebration, rather than the one who was born into the Earth during this "holiday season". Let's forget about the sleigh full of goodies driven by reindeer, and start to celebrate the One who came for us. Jesus was born into the Earth to bring recognciliation and restoration in your life. Let the Spirit of Christmas fill your heart this year, cast off the stress and heavieness of the holidays, and trust God to bring an anointing that will break off all the depression ,and hardness that may come as a result of your circumstances. The things that come at us as a result of being in the world, and subject to its system, are enough that they will try to crush us if we let them. If you've been crushed, or are feeling the weight and pressure of life pull at you, let the peace of the Prince of Peace, fill your mind and heart by the power of the Holy Spirit. Maybe you've been to every counselor and doctor and have yet to find any resolve. Let the Healer and the Wonderful Counselor bring healing to your mind and body as you trust Him to help you.
