Merry Christmas! No matter where you are this season, don’t let your circumstances distract you from the best gift ever—Jesus Christ our Lord. As the Bible says in Isaiah 9:6-7,

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,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
    there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
    and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
    with justice and righteousness
    from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
    will accomplish this.

(Isaiah 9:6-7 NIV)

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! 

(2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV) 

Joy to the World

Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Isaac Watts 1719

Remember God’s Promise

“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”
(Hebrews 13:5 NIV)
