Pastor Bob's Wednesday Devotion: "Keeping the Savior in Focus"

Good morning Church,

Listen to what God's messenger said to the shepherds two thousand years ago...

"But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people...a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."
Luke 2: 10-11 (NIV)

Whose birthday we will all be celebrating in 16 days? Sometimes during this time of year, we tend to lose focus. With all the shopping for gifts we can easily forget the greatest gift, given to us 2,000 years ago.

How can we stay focused on the reason for the season? Try these 3 simple steps in the next 16 days:

1. Each morning, make time to read your Christmas Daily Bread devotional.
2. Each evening, discuss and pray with your family about what each of you learned from the devotional.
3. During your family prayer time, pray for the families from whom you received Christmas cards that day.

In the next 16 days, I want to focus on the Savior who was born so long ago. He was and is "Christ the Lord."

Let's stay focused & joyful!! Amen!

Pastor Bob
