Isaiah 41:10
The word from the Holy Spirit today is resilience which is defined as the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties.
This is a powerful spiritual attribute for anyone dealing with adversity. It is maintaining composure during troubles, seeking the omniscient wisdom of Jesus and walking by unyielding faith.
It is believing nothing is impossible for God. We are on the verge of a strong winter storm with several days of rain. I am thanking God for the rain and praying it will be refreshing, purifying and restoring.
The trials of life can be devastating and create a dismal Christmas. We have to let go and give Christmas back to God and pray for simplicity and order. Sometimes, presents and fine dining have to be replaced by prayer, reading the Word, and listening for the voice of Jesus.
I am praying for the unspeakable joy of the Lord during this holiday season.
Christmas can be experienced every day by a Christ follower. He can live in the presence of Jesus, hear His voice and be filled with the strength of Jesus.
Christmas is a time of celebration regardless of blessings. Jesus promises an abundant life filled with His goodness. Don’t let the ebbs and flows of Jesus disrupt your holiday. Accept Jesus for who He is and trust in His promises.
Christmas is the gift of salvation and the ability to live with Jesus forever. Merry Christmas!
