As I was taking the tree down, and all the lights off the tree, a thought came in my head. I couldn't wait for all the beautiful lights of Christmas to be turned on in my house, and all around the neighbourhood. It truly does light up the darkness, and puts a joy inside when you see all the pretty decorations.
Most of us know that Christmas is more than lights and decorations. It's the light that came into this dark world, Jesus Christ. The very 1st few verses in Genesis chapter 1, tells us that the Earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the whole surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, let there be light......This Light that separated the light from the darkness was the spirit of God. The light of the Sun and the moon and the stars came after the first Light, verse 14.
My prayer is that as we all take our decorations down, we continue to keep Jesus Christ high and lifted up. Shining in the light of His glory. If we are hoping for 2021to be different, we need to keep Him first. We need to change. The ones who follow Him and believe. Don't treat the Holy God like a Genie. Only wanting him when we want change, and when things are looking really bad. The ones who follow the dark side do what they do and it shouldn't surprise us. But the ones who walk in the light, as he is in the light, need to put Him in His rightful place. High and lifted up.
For His glory
