Cannot be Described

I love this verse. Jesus humbled Himself to come to earth to be a sacrifice for us. That gift cannot be fully expressed with words. The best part – those of us who accept this gift will have all eternity to learn the beauty of this gift. I’m glad God allows us to start learning now.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the amazing gift that words cannot express. I am in awe of Your love.

I praise this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Faithfulness

I love the promises in the book of Hebrews. God provides the solid ground we need to persevere. He is faithful and will keep His promises.

Those of us who have read and study the Bible can easily think of many promises. God promised to send a Messiah and Jesus came. Jesus told believers that the Holy Spirit would help them and He dwells within us. There are so many others throughout the Bible.

I hope the reminder of Jesus’ birth at Christmas brings many promises to mind. God’s gifts are the most generous.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the many promises You give. Thank You that we can rely on Your faithfulness. Please help us to remember this when life is difficult.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

The Greatest Love

I am thankful for the reminder at Christmas of the ultimate expression of love. Jesus humbled Himself to be born as a baby. He knew the reason was to suffer as a man for our sins. His love is incomprehensible. I am so glad.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful gift of Your Son. Please help us to remember this gift throughout the Christmas season and share it with others.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Looking to God

Micah 7 does not start out very hopeful. The prophet saw some horrible things. In this verse, he shows his commitment to hope in and wait for God. He knows that God as the object of his hope will not disappoint.

No matter what you are facing today, God will give hope. Go to Him. He waits with open arms.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to hope in You. Thank You that You are trustworthy. We need to remember that. I will watch for what You will do.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Praise for God’s Protection

I love the Psalms. The writer talks about the troubles that he faced. However, he still comes around to praising God. The beginning of this Psalm is a joyful prayer for God’s protection in trouble.

We face many different troubles. Those who follow God have His protection available.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the prayers of protection that can bring us comfort in trouble. Thank You for the help You send.

I praise this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
