12.25.11 "Merry Christmas"

"Merry Christmas"

Zechariah 8:1-23
Revelation 16:1-21
Psalm 144:1-15
Proverbs 30:29-31

Merry Christmas! My prayer is that today you spend time celebrating Christ, and 
pondering the incredible fact that he came to earth to bring us peace, joy, and to 
give us the opportunity to be in relationship with the father.

Look at today's reading in Psalms: "O Lord, what is man that you even notice him?
Why bother at all with the human race? For man is but a breath; his days are like a
passing shadow. Bend down the heavens, Lord, and come. The mountains smoke
beneath your touch. Let loose your lightning bolts, your arrows, Lord, upon your
enemies, and scatter them. Reach down from heaven and rescue me; deliver me
from deep waters, from the power of my enemies. Their mouths are filled with
lies; they swear to the truth of what is false."

Puny man crying out to an awesome God for help. What does this amazing creator
of the universe do to save this man who is but a wisp of smoke?

He comes as a baby.

The power of all the universe placed in the most vulnerable of human form. For
what purpose? To save man. To rescue him. to deliver from the power of the
enemy.

Rejoice! "I will sing you a new song, O God, with a ten-stringed harp. For you
grant victory to kings! you are the one who will rescue your servant David from
the fatal sword." (vs. 9-10)

I don't know that we yet fully can comprehend the power of the Gift this Christmas
morning. It was such a small package, but no power can compare!

Thank you, for coming to save us!

Merry Christmas!




Through the Power of the Spirit,
Live the DREAM!
