As this Christmas season comes and goes, I can't help but compare it to how I spent it last year. Last year, we didn't have lock downs or Covid -19 to worry about. Nor did we worry about gathering restrictions or wearing masks in public places.
On the bright side, this year's restrictions have allowed some of us to focus on the reason for the season more than the traditions we are used to. It has allowed us to dig deep and search for the true meaning of Christmas. I have also heard numerous reports of families spending more quality time with one another than ever before. Though this year had its fair share of burdens, hurts, and even losses, I thank God for the good that I have heard and experienced myself.
One of the things that came to mind however is how we as Christians can remain focused on our Unchanging God in these rapidly changing times. How about we start with Truth of the Word of God; " Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13:8
I don't know about you but it gives me such peace knowing that the God that I had by my side during my mountain high experiences is the same one I can lean on during my valley low moments. It gives me such confidence knowing that His word remains true. Yes, weddings, graduations, events, family gatherings were cancelled and/or moved. But praise Jesus that the promises I have in Him or ones I have received are not cancelled because of a world wide pandemic. Doesn't that encourage you?
I want encourage and also remind you that Romas 8:28 still holds true! That God is able to turn things around for you. But until then, hold on my friend, stay strong! He knows and sees you! He has nothing but good intentions for your life. You are so loved!
Lastly, I want to pray a blessing over this coming new year. I pray that we get to experience all that God has in store for us in 2021. I pray for Open Heavens over us and our loved ones. I pray for peace that surpasses understanding and provision that will blow your mind. I pray all this trusting and believing in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
Stay Blessed<3
