Tuesday, December 26, 2023:
Pause. Pray. Read. Be still. Write. Pray. Go about your day or turn in for the night.
Read: Hebrews 8:1-13
Ask any new parent and they will tell you how newborns transform their lives. Priorities shift to revolve around the infant. Schedules get rearranged to work around the child’s needs. Hearts melt and all activity stops to hear their first words, see their first smiles, and watch as they take their first steps.
Ask any Christian, and they will tell you how making the decision to follow Christ transforms their lives and hearts. Through Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit, God does not lower His expectations to ours but raises our expectations to His. Christ is our bridge connecting us to the presence of God. He carves His plan on the lining of our hearts. Priorities shift. Schedules get rearranged. And how our days and relationships unfold changes. His love and grace shape our lives.
Be still and Reflect: What will your day and week look like when you let God’s grace and love shape you for your betterment and use you for His glory?
Pray: Lord God, You are my one true God and Father. I am Your child. Engrave Your Word upon my heart, impress Your thoughts upon my mind, and fill me you’re your Holy spirit that I might better walk in the Way of Christ. I gladly give You all the praise and glory forever. Amen.
