On the Offensive

I am relishing in this day, December 6, my birthday. It is only 8:30am in the morning and I have been greeted by a phone call from my parents, breakfast brought to me in bed by my entire family, many fabulous friends connecting with me through facebook wishing me a Happy Birthday and more. It has already been a full day. Then I collect my thoughts to spend time with the Lord and Jim Denison brings up this point. "This Advent “week of faith,” let’s review the facts behind the story we tell this season. Christmas actually begins at creation, as Scripture claims that “all things were created by Jesus and for him” (Colossians 1:16). According to Christians, Jesus created the universe he entered at Christmas. Consider the scope of his work." God is the creator of every good and perfect thing. It is only from his hand that we have life and breath. With many people claiming to destroy the name of Jesus and rob Him of who he is, we as believers must stand up and be a light to a world who truly is simply arrogant and ignorant to the fact that there is a God who loves and cares for them. Lord, might I acknowledge and follow you today as a beacon of light and hope to everyone I come in contact with. I know you created all things and it is by you and through you that all things exist. I follow you Lord and seek you today!
