Getting Prepared

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.
1st Peter 1:13 NLT

People are now in full swing, trying to get ready for Christmas. Decorating the tree, shopping for gifts, last-minute home preparations for any guests who may be coming to visit. We want it to be perfect... whatever that is in our minds. And we don't know how we're going to get it all done. 

Let me help you. 

The perfect Gift has already been given, the perfect tree lifted Him high, making it possible to cleanse our hearts to be His home - to be fit for Jesus to come live in us (Ephesians 3:17). 

The MOST important thing to remember about Christmas is the advent of Christ - the time of preparation marking the celebration of Jesus' birth over 2,000 years ago, and also for the preparation of His second coming. Are you getting prepared? 

Prayer:

Father,

           We pray Ephesians 3:20-21, Now all glory to You, God, who is able, through Your mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to You in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
