Many people today look forward to the giving and receiving of gifts at CHRISTmas. That is not a bad thing in and of itself. We all do! However, as I have matured in Christ and at the same time been disappointed and let down by people, I have come to look forward to CHRISTmas blessings from God!
You see, it is no longer the toys, the gifts or the money that excite me so much. For that matter, it is not even the people. Gifts can disappoint . . . wrong size, wrong color, etc. Money is spent way too quickly. People . . . well we all have been let down by friends, families and others on occasion, especially during the HOLYdays.
Yet God has never let me down. He knows what fits for me. He gives me what I need when I need it. So as I look back and remember the past, I can see how faithful He has been. So I wait on God. I expect things from Him. I won't change my course any longer to follow man's designs. He alone is my Rock and my Comfort. I trust Him!
What blessings are you expecting this CHRISTmas?
