Respite For the Weary
Here we are in the beginnings of the Christmas season, and I already feel surrounded by lots of the swirling and twirling activities that accompany the season. Every year, I have to keep my heart in check, and consciously choose to Whom or what I will give my devotion. (Devotion: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or a cause.) Will I choose Jesus or will I choose the season?
I invite you to join me in reading the 25-day devotional, "Who is this Jesus and Why did He Come?". Each day, 5 defining verses are provided for you to "be still in" during the rush of the holy-days. This small booklet can be found on-line at www.respitefortheweary.com.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear but of power, and love, and discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
Dear Lord,
So often fear stops us in our tracks. Remind us that your Holy Spirit lives within us. This truth enables us to have power greater than our own, love that pushes us forward, and discipline to do your will to completion. Please Lord, help us to hear your call and obey your voice today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
