It is Christmas and I wish you the very
best Christmas you ever had. I appreciate every one that follows my blog. It is
for you that God has allowed me write. Thank you for reading my articles and
encouraging me to go on. I pray that you will experience again the joy of
Christmas and that His presence will fill you like never before. If this has
been a challenging year for you, please be assured of His love; keep trusting
and loving Him. May God surround you with His love and fill your heart with His
peace.
Still learning from the nativity
story; God through Mary and Elizabeth birth that which would change their lives
and mankind for good forever; and place their names in the bible for good
forever. Interestingly, they both set themselves apart as soon as they
conceived. Elizabeth spent five months away and Mary three months with
Elizabeth. It would appear that alone time is necessary when God begins to work
in and through someone. It would appear that God draws us closer to Himself
whenever He wants to do something new and special in and through us. It is a
pull in our spirit and if we can’t spend time alone with Him, then we can’t enter
into the fullness of all that He has ordained for us.
Luke 1:
41 “and it came to pass that, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of
Mary….Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Mary could have gone to spend
time with her friend but she chose her older cousin instead notwithstanding the
difference in age. She chose to go to someone who had experienced the workings
of God and so would understand and respect God’s working in her life and
through her. There are some things about you that men will forever misinterpret
no matter how close they are to you or how hard you try to explain it; if the Holy
Spirit does not explain it to them, it remains a mystery. These are things to
ponder in your heart. Though this is season for excitement, God is pulling His
own into His secret place that He might reveal to them the next level for their
life.
Luke 2:
19 “Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.”
It is worthy of note that the
miracle was finally born in a strange land. Sometimes, our miracles are born in
unfamiliar terrain where you know no one and have little knowledge of what to
do and yet God is there with you. Let me add that you don’t need to make any
announcement if God, through you, birth a miracle; He will announce you Himself
at the time and in the way He deems most appropriate. God knows how to
advertise you. He may take a while but He does not intend to light a lamp and
hide it. Except God did not light the lamp; if He did be patient, your time to
shine is here.
Luke 2:
10-11 “And there were in the same Country shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came
upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore
afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this
day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
