The deeper we grow in our relationship with Jesus; the more we read the Word of God; the more insight we gain into our past and our feeble efforts to be righteous on our own.

Prayer Journey — Humble Praise

You have been a mighty fortress in the heat of battle, a place for us to find refuge. In a shaken world, you are the rock, a solid foundation that cannot be shaken.

Sunday Praise

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in the LORD. – Psalm 104:33-34 (NASB)

Morning Praise — A Savior is Born

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6 (NASB)

Preparing for a Face-to-face Meeting with Jesus

The magi were men of position and prestige, yet they fall before the new-born king. They humble themselves before him. They give generously to him, giving gifts of great value.

New Birth, New Story

May today be the day new life is born within you; the day you know the depth of God’s love for you; that salvation is yours through Jesus.

Prayer Journey — Humble Adoration

Deepen my faith in you. May I have the enthusiasm of the shepherds who ran to see you, the determination of the magi who sought you. The humbleness to bow before you in adoration. The devotion to follow you as Mary and Joseph did.

Sunday Praise

But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. – Psalm 13:5-6 (NASB)
