Start off this Christmas Season with a new dedication to be thankful, prayerful, watchful, joyful, and willing to tell!!!
How? Simple, start today with a notebook, pen, Bible, and a quiet place. Find a devotional or start reading the Gospel of John. In your notebook, write down a scripture and then write about what the Holy Spirit is saying to you through the Word. Thank Him for His Word!!! Next, write the names of 10 people with one word that describes the need in that person's life (i.e. Johnny-salvation, Suzy-healing), then, pray over each name at least 1 minite each. Thank God for the answers in advance! Now, write down the focus or greatest need for your day and tell God about it, then…stop and listen! Spend a few more minutes in worship and praise for what He has done, is doing and will do!!!
If we will keep our focus on Him and remember that this season is all about His coming, both as a baby in a manger who came to die for our sins and as the ONE Who will Come again, we will find that the pressure of the worldly focus will release as we engage in God's focus...His Son! And that is the message we need to share boldly this season. Jesus.
Black Friday? Make it BOLD Friday as we ask God to give us the boldness to turn the anxiety to anticipation by seeking Him first and finding every opportunity to share the true reason for this season, Boldly!!!
Anxiety will melt away if we focus on Him and cast every care and concern on Him.
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
I Peter 5:6-7 NKJV
