Psalm 1 tells us that the person who meditates on God's Word "day and night" will be "blessed." Such a person produces "fruit," that is fruits of faith. Such a person does not "wither." In other words, they endure when life gets hard, because they have that emotional and spiritual strength that the Holy Spirit grants through regular contact with the means of grace.
We have some special Advent devotions to help strengthen you and your
family during these hectic days before Christmas. If you normally have daily family devotions, like at suppertime or
bedtime, you can smoothly put these into your routine. If you aren't in
the habit, this would be a nice way to start--simple, easy and no
pressure, just try it three times each week!
There's
one devotion on each of the Scripture lessons that we heard on the First
Sunday in Advent. Each also includes a question to use with very young
children, one for slightly older children and one for older children
and teens.
Each week we will add more for the coming week.
God bless your time in his Word as you prepare for
Christmas! Be sure to share these with your friends, relatives, acquaintances, and neighbors as well.
