The true Christmas message is the Gospel which is good news!

Part of that good news is found in 2 Peter 1:3, which says: “as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue”. Not only are we saved by His goodness, In Christ, He gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness. This means that our eternity is secure in Christ, but He also cares for our daily needs. He meets all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Christmas for us is not just a day; it is a powerful revelation of just how much God loves us. Let the rest of this holiday be one of gratitude for what God has already done for us.

Where do you find your strength?

The nations of the world boast on their military strength. Their military might gives them national confidence and a sure footing among the neighboring nations. Many individuals boast in their weapons, and even how smart they are. But that is limited in nature. There will always be someone mightier and smarter that you. For the believer, their confidence and boast is in the Lord. He is the one who makes us strong. He is the one who miraculously delivers us from the hand of the enemy. He is the one that gives us the victory! I will make my boast in the Lord. I will put my trust in the Lord. Weapons may fail you. Your knowledge may fail you, but God in Christ in never fail you!

Psalm 20:7 (TPT) Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in the Lord our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!
