That God would
trust any of us with something as valuable as a little baby is difficult to
grasp, but to think that He entrusted to our hands the Son of God is impossible
to comprehend. From Celestial Throne to musty hay, from the praise and service
of ten thousand times ten thousand to a bewildered young couple in a world
ill-prepared to receive the King of Kings. The Nativity shouts the love and
faith of God. My Lord, My God, My Redeemer, grant me this day Your love, Your
faith.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
