When the ark of the Lord’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel raised such a great shout that the ground shook 1 Samuel 4:5

Today you are invited to consider how much you celebrate God. What does it mean to you as you prepare to commemorate the time when He sent His Son as a baby. How do you celebrate Christmas? Is it a time of happiness for you because you will gather with friends and family, or a time of sadness because you will be alone? Do you rush around preparing for the ‘Big Day’ or do you find time for holy moments when you meditate on the Christmas story and worship God for the gift He has given to you? Spend some time this December, putting aside a few moments to dwell on the holiness of the season, and rejoice in God’s grace.

May God bless you with His joy during this time of preparation.
