December 5 - Alexander O'Neal - Do You Remember Why
Around
the world, many of us have put up Christmas decorations. We shop for gifts to
give to others. We drop hints to others so we can get what we want. Some of
these people do not even believe Jesus Christ existed. Some of these people
believe Jesus Christ might have or did exist but they do not believe he is God
in the flesh, who came to redeem us, reconcile us to God the Father, and to
give us eternal life. Yet these people celebrate Christmas and exchange
presents. They may not even celebrate Christmas but they are willing to sell
their goods and services to you.
Why
do you celebrate Christmas?
Do
you even know the reason for the season?
PSALM 150
(Reader Friendly Edition)
Praise the
Lord!
Praise God in
his Temple.
Praise him in
his mighty heaven.
Praise him for
his strength.
Praise him for
his greatness.
Praise him with
trumpet blasts.
Praise him with
harps and lyres.
Praise him with
tambourines and dancing.
Praise him with
stringed instruments and flutes.
Praise him with
loud cymbals.
Praise him with
crashing cymbals.
Let everything
that breathes praise the Lord.
Praise the
Lord!
PRAYER:
Dear LORD, help
us to think about why we celebrate Christmas. Help us think about how we
celebrate the birth of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Help us
to not be greedy. Help us to be a blessing to others. Help those of us who
desire to do so praise You and Your holy name. In the name of Jesus Christ I
pray. Amen.
