Spiritual Vitamin: "Joy to the world! the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing and heaven and heaven and nature sing." Isaac Watts
Challenge: The good news of Jesus birth has the power to bring us great joy this season. Our joy isn't dependent upon what gifts are or aren't under the tree. Our joy isn't dependent upon how many family members show up for Christmas. There is no earthly gift or thing that can ever give us true joy outside Christ. Let your heart prepare room for him this Christmas! Join with heaven and nature and sing to the top of your lungs: Jesus is born!
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for the carols at Christmas, particularly, Joy to the World! It's an invitation to invite my heart to prepare room for Jesus. It's an invitation to join with all heaven and sing. Lord, truly this is a time to worship You and celebrate the Christ child. May I do that today! Amen.
