First Things, First

Christmas

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.   (Matthew 2:10)

Don't let this Christmas season overwhelm you.  Don't feel you have to do something, or go into debt just to impress other people.  Focus instead on Jesus.  Take time every day to read the prophecies of His coming, and the wonderful story of His birth.  Make this Christmas one of "exceedingly great joy."  (Billy Graham, Hope For Each Day, 6 December) 6 December 2011

Lord, help us to believe Your promise that You will give us the strength to cope with our circumstances.  (Carol Kuykendall in Daily Guideposts - 2009, 2 December) 4 December 2011

Change

Change my way of thinking.
