"And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." Luke 2:12
The angel spoke these famous words to the shepherds in the fields on the eve of Jesus birth. The words fulfilled a prophecy spoken by Isaiah, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. " They however echoed something else which is found in the story that Isaiah is telling in Chapter 7.
The kings of Israel and Syria in the days of Ahaz king of Judah aligned with one another to defeat the king of Judah. "the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz,....(tell him) fear not, neither be fainthearted for...(the two kings shall not be successful against you) For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established." The Lord then went onto say to Ahaz, "Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above."
God wanted Ahaz to simply ask him for a sign, "But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD." God, I believe put off by Ahaz' lack of faith said watch this, I will go beyond this situation and reveal to you a real miracle (my words). He said, "the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings." (Is 7:3-20)
God told us in this story that he was bigger than Ahaz's minor problem and that what he would give the world was a Savior and that he would rid the land of (Israel's)two kings and all further evil would be trampled under his feet. He would establish himself King of the Jews and never again woud their be kings of Judah or Israel!
When will we learn that God is bigger than all of our problems? He is in control and he will help us if we will only ask him in faith!
My prayer. Father, thank you for revealing yourself to us through your word. I pray that my trust in You would increase as I walk closer to you. Thank you for the gift of your Son and the gift of salvation that we can pass to others as members of His body. I pray this Christmas season be a time of renewal and revival. I pray that Christians around the world will come to know the power that you have given each one of them through the power of the Holy Spirit. Help us Lord to be ambassadors of Christ through our lives. Use us today Lord to be your hands and feet. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

Too Wonderful to Comprehend
But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19, 51
Luke Chapter 2 the story of the birth of Christ is so rich, I never get tired of reading it. The story is full of drama and joy, love and hope, it is worth reading over and over anytime during the year especially if you want to renew your faith and invigorate your walk with the Lord.
Mary, besides the baby Jesus, takes center stage in this drama which is the culmination of the promises of God and the redemption of the world which was so wonderfully foreshadowed in the Old Testament. I love this verse which was used twice in Chapter 2 to explain how overwhelming the events had become for Mary that she could only take them in and ponder them in her heart.
After all, she ( a virgin) had been favored by the Creator of the universe to carry his one and only begotten son through conception by the Holy Spirit. The, to make the entire story even more difficult to comprehend, she is told that this baby she would give birth to was the promised Messiah that would be King of the Jews and would be the vessel whereby God would redeem the world from the fall of Adam and Eve. As the chapter unfolds Mary is experiencing one unfathomable event after another and I am certain she is virtually in shock regarding the enormity of the situation.
When I read this verse first at the beginning of the Chapter and then again at the end, I can picture Mary just in a daze, overwhelmed and overjoyed that she would be honored in such a way by God, yet confused and bewildered that she had been chosen for the most important assignment in eternity! She was speechless and could only "ponder (everything) in her heart."
God is so amazing how he takes the most unexpected paths to achieve the greatest miracles! Praise Him!
My prayer. Father, I pray that someday I may be considered a useful vessel for you to bless someone in my sphere of influence. Lord, continue to mold me in your hands as the potter does with the clay. Make me an instrument of your plan of salvation in a world that is desperate to receive your Christmas gift. Use me Lord according to the ability you have given me, In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Out of Egypt I Called my Son!
When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son." Matthew 2:13-15
After the birth of Jesus and his subsequent return to Nazareth, Magi from the east (most-likely Babylon) approached King Herod in Jerusalem to seek where they could find the Christ. They came bearing gifts and to worship the one that had been prophesied in the scriptures and for whom they referred, king of the Jews. They were directed to Bethlehem by Herod’s advisers and teachers of the law and off they went. Secretly Herod plotted to kill the child as he was deeply concerned about losing his throne.
Again, Divine providence was upon Joseph and Mary and the young boy Jesus when an angel told them to flee to the desert until the danger had passed. Shortly afterwards around, 4 AD, Herod died and the threat to the life of Jesus was over, allowing the family to return to Nazareth.
As we read these writings about the life of Jesus at Christmas time, we are reminded of the obedience of Mary and Joseph and how much the hand of God was on this family and His only begotten Son. As I meditate on these scriptures, my heart fills with joy at how much God did to fulfill his promise of redemption.
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden, I believe he was very disappointed but not unforgiving. Josephus writes on the heels of the eating of the forbidden fruit,
“God said, ‘I had before determined about you both, how you might lead a happy life, without any affliction, and care, and vexation of soul; and that all things which might contribute to your enjoyment and pleasure should grow up by my providence, of their own accord, without your own labor and pains-taking; which state of labor and pains-taking would soon bring on old age, and death would not be at any remote distance: but now thou hast abused this my good-will, and hast disobeyed my commands.’”
God therefore, had to punish us. But he soon began his plan of redemption because he loved us so much.
Several thousand years later, God will order Joseph and his family to the desert for safety. The key ingredient, without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, is that both Joseph and Mary were obedient, doing exactly what they were told when they were asked. This precise and unquestioning trust in the Lord’s requirements are a lesson to all of us that no matter the request from God, if we are to see his plans fulfilled in our lives, we must obey completely and immediately!
My prayer. Father, thank you for your word and the precision of your blessings to those who follow it without question. Lord, continue to teach me how to give you my complete trust, both in the good things and in the uncomfortable situations. I want to have the obedience of a Joseph. Help me start this Christmas so that I may be a better servant to you. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

Jesus Will Reveal Hearts
"This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too." Luke 2:34-35
Simeon, whom Luke calls “righteous and devout,” spoke these words over the infant Jesus just days after he was born and on the occasion of his presentation at the temple eight days after his birth. The Holy Spirit had already revealed to Simeon that this was the Lord Christ who would be “a light for revelation to the Gentiles.”
When I considered this word of God’s, I was astonished at how powerful this prophesy was and how it continues to be fulfilled. Jesus truly is “a sign that (is) spoken against.” Atheists and the "politically correct" find it difficult to withhold comment or reaction at the very mention of His name. Especially during the Christmas season, as the battle wages for displays that honor the name of Christ, the mere utterance of his name always evokes a “heart” reaction positively or negatively.
Whether you are a Christian or a pagan, Jew or Atheist, it is impossible to be neutral about Jesus!
My prayer. Father, I am continually amazed when I contemplate your greatness and mercy. I praise you for the gift that you gave me and all of mankind in your Son Jesus. Empower me Lord to see what you see when hearts are revealed at the mention of the “Name above all names.” Use me Lord to minister to those who may not yet understand the magnitude of the gift that you have given us through your Son. Help me also to heal the brokenness in my won soul. Make my life a testimony unto you Father. And as I continue to reflect upon the wonderful Christmas present you gave the world, continue to open the eyes of my heart even wider and show me the damage yet to be repaired. I thank you for your mercy and I pray in Jesus mighty name, Amen!

May it be to me as You have said!
I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. (Luke 1:38)
Praise God that Mary was obedient to His request that she, yet a virgin, would bear the Son of God in her womb! As I contemplate the birth of our Savior this Christmas season, I am amazed at just how obedient she was and what a personal risk she would undertake for the Lord.
I wonder if I could take such a step of faith. I know in my own walk I struggle to give God the easiest things, I can’t imagine myself trusting Him with the dedication of Mary. Why do we find it so difficult to trust, in the safety of our cushy lives?
The word trust “peitho” in the Greek language means “to rely upon, to have confidence in or to believe in.” Trust leaves us with four options in which we can place our confidence or on which we can believe, material objects, other people, ourselves, and, if we are believers, God. Most often trust in the first two leads to disappointment and sometimes a great deal of pain. This leaves only to trust in our own ability or God’s. Herein lies our dilemma, it cannot be both, so we must choose to trust completely in ourselves or in our Creator.
Psalm 20:7 says, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 62:8 confirms, “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.” As believers, we really have but one choice and that is to trust our Father. He created us, to love and be in relationship with us, and He gave his most prized possession, His Son, to die a horrible death for the redemption of our sins. How could we question his love and his ability to accomplish the things we give to him in prayer? Yet we do.
I believe the root of our inability to fully trust God lies in our separation from Him resulting from “original sin.” Even though we are saved through the blood of Jesus, the remnant of the shame of original sin still haunts us. We continue to allow ourselves to move back toward self-reliance and away from God-reliance. Self-discovery and our belief that we control our own destiny, hold us back from fully giving ourselves over to God’s will for our lives.
We must continually renew our minds by constantly pulling away from the world order and remain in God’s perfect will for our lives (Romans 12:2). It is only then that we can say and live what Mary said, “I am the Lords servant, may it be to me as you said.”
My prayer. Forgive me Lord for my lack of trust in You, the only one who truly has my best interests at heart. I love you Father and know that you alone know Your perfect will for my life. Let my life be of complete and useful service to you, help me to step out on the water and trust that you will lead me across the surface in perfect agreement with your will and for the advancement of your Kingdom. I pray in earnest and with humble repentance for ever doubting your trustworthiness. In Jesus name! Amen

Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Mat. 7:1-5
This passage of scripture is often used by those who want to call Christians hypocrites and more by those who are opposed to any kind of morale standard. The fact of the matter is that this teaching was by Jesus directly to his closest disciples during the famous Sermon on the Mount. In it Jesus went beyond what the teachings and law of the Old Testament, telling them more than their outward actions but the evil in their own hearts would dictate how
they would be judged by God.
Judgement was never something to be avoided when it came to discerning right from wrong in the eyes of God, rather it was the judgement of one believer of another about which Jesus cautioned his followers. Be careful, he warned, of criticizing another for the purposes of personal superiority. Rather Jesus tells us to make sure that our motives are for building up one another not tearing them down.
Judging right from wrong using an absolute vice relative approach to morality is exactly what God wants us to do. We are to look to the saving power of the blood of Jesus Christ and the grace of God the Father as our hope for eternal life, rather than our ability to keep all the law both outwardly and in our hearts. However, we must be "judgemental" when it comes to determining our life choices. In fact the very sermon that tells us to be careful how we are to warn each other of the dangers of sin, is the very place we all should refer to gain knowledge of what is right or wrong in the eyes of God.
My prayer. Father, thank you that you would send your Son to earth to give us a picture of what you are really like and how much you love us. I pray father that we as believers can become more Christlike in the conduct of our lives so that others are drawn to you not driven away by hypocrisy and elitism. Help us Lord in our weakness and teach us the proper way to serve you and be good stewards of the truth that you have given us in your Word. In Jesus name I pray, Amen!

We Can't Ignore God Any More
"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man's design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead." Acts 17:29-31
Paul, on his second mission to the Gentiles said these words to the people of Athens who worshiped many idols and images of their gods. Luke even records an altar with an inscription: "To an unknown god"! The people of Athens, not unlike us today worshipped almost anything.
I like how the King James version of the bible translates, "And the times of this ignorance God winked at..." It is almost as if the Holy Spirit is saying, the kidding around is over and now God wants you full attention because through the death of his son on the cross, he has given the world its last chance to recognize that he is the one true God.
He has "set a day," when he will take his bride away with him and he will "judge the world with justice." Paul was quite clear about what he heard God saying to him.
If we roll the clock ahead 2000 years and consider this teaching in the context of today's culture, the urgency of this word rings true. Not much has changed really except maybe the names of the gods being worshipped. Today its the images and idols of money, entertainment, and self fulfillment that have replaced the Greek gods, however, the urgency to give up these gods seems unchanged as our society worships any and everything but God.
God has stated his case and the clock is ticking. The day of his return is much closer now than in Paul's time, don't miss your last chance to join God's family, before its too late.
My prayer. Father, I humbly repent for the times I have wasted worshipping the idols and images of this world. Forgive me Lord for my lack of faith and trust in the love that you have shown through your son Jesus Christ. It is my prayer that in these last days that all mankind repent and come to know you as Lord and Savior. Thank you for your eternal grace and love for your creation. Bring your Kingdom to earth through the love that you have commanded us to show to one another. I pray these things in the name above all names, my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen!
