PAUSE!!

December 19, 2017///

We are running here and there. We are decorating, we are shopping, we are gathering, we are making list, we are wrapping, we are stuffing things in bags, we are baking, we are cooking, we are sleeping less and worrying more!!!

And this in addition to our normal duties!!

Whee!!!!!!!!! Take a breath……take a deep breath and say:

“Jesus, I give you my day and I thank you for choosing to come as a baby to grow up and pay the price for my transgressions.”

May I remind you this morning that in a little town called Bethlehem THE MESSIAH was born and those all around were in such a hurry and there was such hustle and bustle going on that the entire area missed it.

But out on a hillside, some shepherds were just calmly watching their sheep and the beautiful night, and they were the first to hear the good news!! Maybe they were singing songs of praise just like their ancestor David or maybe they were thinking of when the promised messiah would come to change the world.

Then they were Blessed to be told where to find the Christ Child and they went and worshipped.

May I ask you today to take the time to think about all that the Promised Messiah accomplished in His thirty-three years on this earth as fully man and fully God!

Let us make sure this busy week before Christmas Day, we take some quiet time to just ponder who Jesus is, and the Holy Spirit will visit us with instructions of how to best worship not only in the next week but for the rest of our lives.

Unlike the Shepherds, we do not have to go to the stable, but can worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords wherever we find ourselves.

Yes, we can even worship in the middle of a long check out line or choosing food to buy. We can worship with a smile and kindness to others and we can worship as we serve our Lord and Master throughout the entire year!!

“OH COME, LET US ADORE HIM!!!”

I personally love Christmas. I love the lights and the celebrations and the knowledge that most of the world recognizes that Jesus was born.

However, I love more the relationship that I have with the Savior of the world through the Holy Spirit that guides and directs me deep in my innermost being.

Oh, how my heart aches for the entire population of this earth to understand what abundant peace and love the Father Desires to bestow upon us. That each person would understand that they were made on purpose and for a purpose

Can you imagine if we all understood the Love of God how different this world would be? Arguments and wars would cease. Homes would be filled with Love and Joy, and because the enemy of all that is good would be defeated, there would be no hunger or lack. Oh!! For His Kingdome to come and His will to be done on the earth!!!

We are the key. Take time to pause and listen and He will instruct and guide you.

Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Psalm 29:2 (KJV)
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

Psalm 95:6 (KJV)   O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

Father, I adore you and I worship you for who you are. I desire that your Kingdom come, and your will be done in my life and the world. Show me my part in your kingdom and guide me in all I do. I release to your Lordship each person who reads this, and may they understand that you Love them and Created them for great and mighty things. Thank you for your Love and Care. Amen

Have an amazing Christmas and remember to PAUSE and BREATH DEEPLY OF HIS LOVE!!!
