Is it possible to celebrate Christmas and miss the whole point in celebrating? I’m certainly guilty of worrying about a lot of details as we plan ahead, whether we have purchased the right stuff, and scheduling. The trivial can be compounded by much bigger issues of grief and loss. But Jesus knows every single detail of our lives and He continues to draw us to Himself. May we magnify who Jesus is through our words and efforts as we anticipate His return. May our celebrations glorify Christ.
“Real, sturdy, lasting peace, peace that doesn’t rise and fall with circumstances, isn’t to be found in picking apart your life until you have understood all of the components. You will never understand it all because God, for your good and his glory, keeps some of it shrouded in mystery.” - Paul David Tripp, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional
