Good morning! How are we faithing? I want y'all to think about something. Do you do good works? Do you do them for gain or because you see a need? Do you do good works for a pat on the back or because it just needs to be done? This time of year there many many organizations and people giving presents to the needy. I am not condemning or criticizing any of that but want to pose some questions. With the questions that opened this daily, do you give to feel good this time of year? Why are those same people criticized the rest of the year? Is your schedule so busy you ignore a need? Just sit back and think about this and take the appropriate actions and enjoy Christmas because the gift Jesus gave was the ultimate gift and he gave it to all of us. His example is for us to see and pass on the same attitude and spirit of giving.
1 Timothy 5:24-25
The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after. Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
NAS
Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
NAS
Heavenly Father,
We thank you Lord for your gift of salvation from our very nature. Lord we ask daily for wisdom to act in a manner worthy of declaring you as our Lord. We also lift those up who are struggling with this season. Grant them peace and understanding of the true non material nature of this celebration. Bless those traveling and those who are away defending freedom. In Jesus name, amen
