Previous Christmas Devotional About
giving praise for God’s gift of the Christ-child… Psalm
89:8 O Lord God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O Lord, and your
faithfulness surrounds you. 9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves
mount up, you still them. 10 You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your
strong arm you scattered your enemies. 11 The heavens are yours, and yours also
the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it. 12 You created the north
and the south; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at your name. 13 Your arm is endued
with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. 14 Righteousness and
justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of
your presence, O Lord. (NIV) In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, with shopping, errands, cards, decorations, parties, programs, and an endless string of things to do, we can forgot to praise God for His precious gift…the gift of the blessed Christ child resting in a manger. It is not enough for us to just say “thank you” to God for Christ’s birth with our mouth. On Christmas, and on every day of the year, we are to express our praise for Christ being sent to us with all of our being. Every day we are to send our heart up to God in praise and thanksgiving. When we send up all of our being to God, when we send up all of our heart, mind, and soul, God does surely bless us and look out for us. Although we are not to be content with things as they are upon the earth, we can always be content in the glory of the way things are in Heaven. On the day Christ was born, all of Heaven rang out in songs of joy. In our hearts, on Christmas, and on every day of the year, all of our being should ring out in songs of joy because Christ was born.
