Pastor Jim has said this a few times over the last month or so but I'm seeing it in my own house. Satan is after us right now. We dare to celebrate the birth of the Savior. We have the audacity to rejoice in our God, in Jesus, in our faith. And old Satan is TICKED! He's trying to get to us. Have you felt a little more stressed? Have you been a little more on edge? Have you bit off someones head or snapped at a little person? Have you bickered with your spouse just to later think "Now what the heck was that about?". Know what it is? It's that darn devil making his way into your mind and heart, trying to spoil your mood and make what is a blessed time of year into something ugly and mean. Don't let him do it.
Pay attention to yourself and your loved ones. Watch your tongue more than normal. Put your emotions and feelings into check a few more times a day than normal. Don't let Satan enter your home this season. Pray more often, spend more time together as a family. Be more thankful and more aware of your blessings. Put that devil to shame and cast him out of your Christmas, it's not for him, it's for us and our Lord!
Pray for each other and for yourself this season. Pray for your fellow man. Pray for our country and the people leading it. Pray that you are able to reach someone who is searching for their place in this life in Christ. Pray that you are able to say just the right thing at just the right time to bring someone back to Him and that their life may then be as blessed as you are. He is waiting for us all, He has his hands open for us all to come back to Him.
You are all in my prayers. I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and I pray that Satan backs quickly away from your home and your family! Slam that door in his face and be rich in your faith and love of Jesus and your family!
