Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Shepherds were simple people. They were uneducated,

low-skilled workers in a low prestige job. In Jesus' time,

they were considered unreliable and untrustworthy and

were not allowed to testify in court, yet theses were the

people whom the angels appeared. They were invited to

behold the greatest event in human history. God chose

who, by human standards, were not suitable to be legal

witnesses in court, to be his witness to the Savior of the

world! (Eleanor Whitney-Christmas Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds

said to one another, "Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing

that has happen, which the Lord has told us about." Luke 2:15

What a great God we serve!!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

If you are struggling today with your walk with someone,

a marriage, a friendship, a partnership, you must first

get your walk back in agreement with the Lord. Ask the

Lord to help you walk with Him in those areas where you're

struggling. (Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

Can two walk together, unless they agree? Amos 3:3

Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree. We will not always

agree with everyone, even those we love, but we can always love,

in spite of our differences!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

If there is something in your life which you believe

the Holy Spirit is working on, be thankful. It is

conformation that you are God's child. The Lord

will not force His will , He wants the best for you.

But He wants you to be willing to yield to His

leading. Pray... "Lord, if this is a conviction from

You, I ask You to remind me before I do it again."

(Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

See if there any offensive way in me, and lead me in

the way of everlasting. Psalm 39:24

I have found in my own life, that the Holy Spirit confirms

what God wants me to do. So many times I have tried to do

things that was clearly not the direction God wanted for me

and the Holy Spirit made it plain!

December 18

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Sometimes our plans don't work out as we hope,

especially at Christmas. A well planned party fizzles,

a carefully chosen gift fails to impress, or family can't

be together the way you would like, because of death,

divorce or discord. Remember you always take

circumstances and work through them, to bring God

into your life. (Eleanor Whitney-Christmas Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

And while they were there, the time came to deliver the child.

Luke 2:6

I don't suppose Mary 's plans went the way she had planned them

for that very first Christmas. I doubt she would have chosen a stable

for the birth of the King of the universe, but God did and we must

remember He guides us as well!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

If we were really honest, most of us would admit to having

thoughts like. "How can I do it all? How is this going to

work out? Why does life have to be so hard?" The added

pressure of the holiday season demands more time and

attention. Suddenly we find ourselves with no time to pray

or to seek the Lord. When your output exceeds your intake,

your upkeep is your downfall. (Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

You O God, refreshed your weary inheritance Psalm 68:9

There are only twenty-four hours, no matter what you do

and the hands of the clock keep ticking, so somethings do

not get done... let them go, take time to pray and seek God!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

If you're feeling worn out, ask God to give you rest

for your soul and show you how to slow down.

(Eleanor Whitney-Christmas Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

Come unto me all you that are weary and carrying heavy

burdens and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:26

As the Christmas season rushes on and you feel the stress

of all you have to do... stop and pray and take some deep

breaths... and relax!!

Know I prayed for you today. Blessings-Freda

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Do not beat yourself up during the restoration process.

It will take time and change often comes slowly. Praise

God that He is never in a rush. Relax He is on your side.

(Daily Disciples Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some count

slowness. He is patient, with you, not wanting anyone to

perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

We need to thank God for being patient with our human

weaknesses!
