VERSE:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his
compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your
faithfulness.

THOUGHT:
What sustained you through the night? What will get you through
today? What will enable you to achieve your goals, even thrive, in
the days that lie ahead? The LORD's mercies. These incredible
resources never run out! Each new day brings a fresh supply of
them. God is faithful to make sure we have them each day. Praise be
to God for making our world new and clean each new day.

PRAYER:
Thank you, holy God and loving Father, for sustaining me through
the night and promising me endless day at the end of my life's
journey. May you, my Father in heaven, find love and praise on my
lips and in my heart at all times. In Jesus' name. Amen.

WJD! -- The Gifts -- Matthew 1:20-21

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday, January 6, 2009

The Gifts

But after Joseph thought about this, an angel of the Lord
came to Joseph in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, son of
David, don't be afraid to accept Mary to be your wife. The
baby that is in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give
birth to a son. You will name the son Jesus. Give him that
name because he will save his people from their sins."

-- Matthew 1:20-21 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Most Christians know the three gifts of the Magi to Jesus were gold,
frankincense, and myrrh. But, did you know that the angel of the Lord
also gave Joseph the assurance that God is giving three gifts in
sending Jesus? God's three gifts in Jesus are: 1) a Son of David who
fulfills God's promise of a King who will reign forever; 2) a child
named Jesus who is God's Son, conceived through the Holy Spirit; and 3)
a son named Jesus, the Great Deliverer, who will save his people from
their sins. As Jesus' younger brother would later write, God is the
Father of "every good and perfect gift" (James 1:17). There is no gift
more precious or far-reaching than the gift of Jesus, God's Son, and
our Savior.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
O dear Father, you give such amazing and generous gifts. Thank you for
your assurance and love, for people of faith who believe and act on
your Word, for the Holy Spirit who leads us in your will, and most of
all, for your Son and my Savior, Jesus. For these gifts and a host of
others I so often take for granted, I give you thanks. You are
wonderful and your love is too great for me to fathom. Please accept my
heartfelt praise, in Jesus' name. Amen.

=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================

Focus on the Goal, by Sarah Stirman

It happened again. Out running, my foot landed squarely on ...
something ... a pecan ... a rock? Whatever it was, it rolled my foot
right off, twisted my ankle, and sent me sprawling. Now I'm sporting an
oh-so-fashionable walking cast and have a few weeks to rest the foot
before I can take off running again.

Having a "poor me" moment, I started thinking, "Well, how am I supposed
to run? I guess I'll have to focus on the ground around me to keep this
from happening again ..." That would slow me down considerably, and
cause me to hate running as I would spend each run scanning the road at
my feet for obstacles or jeopardy instead of enjoying the scenery and
running toward my goal.

Well, what do successful runners do? Successful runners run smart by
not running on obviously treacherous landscape, but run with gusto
enjoying the scenery, scanning the road for obvious pitfalls and
dangers but keeping an eye on the goal, knowing that injury is an
acceptable risk: it just might happen and you deal with it when it
does. You can't run a successful race worrying about and focusing on
obstacles and injuries; you run a successful race by knowing your goal
and running toward it.

What if this race I run in life were the same way? What if I spent most
of my time enjoying the scenery and focusing on my goal of heaven
instead of trying to tiptoe my way around obstacles and worrying about
what I will do if I get hurt? I tend to hyper-focus on people that may
(or have) hurt me, situations and arguments that hold me back or
frustrate me, and obstacles and stumbling blocks that only serve to
keep my eyes off my goal.

In the same way that the road I run on is my reality, and perils along
the way will likely be a problem at some point, this world that I live
in is my reality, no matter how perfect my goal destination is.
Focusing on my goal of heaven won't keep this world from affecting me,
twisting my ankle and scraping my knees on occasion. But I can't let
the fear of that injury keep me from running this race with all I've
got, loving and living big and loud, spilling God's love and sharing my
goal of heaven along the path. I must run smart, and avoid obvious
pitfalls, but I have to accept getting hurt as acceptable risk: it will
happen at some point and God will continue to be faithful, providing
His people and His comfort in my time of recuperation.

So I'm ready.

So I'm ready. Ready to get back to road running as well as running
through life with my eyes on my goal, not on the pettiness and mess
around me. If you see me sprawled along the way, I may need help to my
feet, I may need a ride home, and I may need some encouragement and
comfort while I recuperate. But I'll invite you to run alongside me,
running this race with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, striding
together toward the goal.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of
witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin
that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race
marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV).
