We're only a few short weeks away from celebrating the birth of our Lord, the promise son, that would be God with us. Over the next few weeks, many of us are going to attend parties, wrap gifts, prepare meals, give presents, make trips, visit family, spend time with our friends, and go see light displays and much, much more. You know, it can be easy to get lost in all the holiday hubbub, like tartar got excited just mentioning that it's easy for the season even just pass us by like a whirlwind. And one day we're getting ready for Christ's birth. And the next thing we know the year is over. But it doesn't have to be that way. Amongst all of our busyness and our plans, we can stop and pause. We can reflect and rejoice. So join me in slowing down for just a moment. Stop and think about God's promise that a son would one day come. As we get into all the functions and the festivities of the season. Let us remember to proclaim the good news that God did keep his promise to us. That the Lord did come to his people, that he became a man. He was born as a baby, lived as an obedient son, and rescued us from the sin. There his death and resurrection on the cross. And now he dwells in the hearts of all those who believe in Him. Recall the words of Isaiah 12, one through six says you will say in that day, I will give thanks to the Lord, I will give thanks to you, oh Lord, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust and I will not be afraid. For the Lord is my strength And my song, and he has become my salvation. With joy. You will draw water from the wells of salvation. And you will say in that day, give thanks to the Lord. call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing praises to the Lord, for He has done gloriously. Let this be made known in all the earth shout and sing for joy Oh inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. Because the Lord has fulfilled his promise, we can shout and sing for joy. Great in our midst is the Holy One of Israel. Greatest he Emmanuel, God with us. Hope you have a wonderful day.
