Credit Crunch or Christmas Contentment?

By Lynn Cowell

 

"Owe no one anything except to love one another for he who loves another
has fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8 (NKJV)

         

Devotion:

The TV blared the news: the economy is tightening and a credit crunch will definitely affect Christmas spending this year.

 

Credit card companies are lowering credit limits and raising interest rates. Gone are the days of zero percent interest for your first few months on a newly opened card. As I watched the news, I imagined many families would share similar concerns of mine. Will we have enough money to celebrate and give Christmas gifts? Can we be content with less than usual? Is there any possibility this could be a good thing?

 

Overspending during the holiday season winds up being a joy-robber. Many of us spend our December evenings and weekends searching frantically for that perfect gift or worrying over keeping everything "equal" (this is my personal worry with my three kids). The more I shop, the more I spend, and the less joyful I become. Sometimes, I find myself wishing the holidays would hurry up, get here and get over! There has got to be a better way to celebrate the birthday of Christ. Isn't there?
 

Yes, there is! Romans 13:8 encourages us to owe no one anything except love. This verse brought to mind my sister's special Christmas last year. Her family practiced the very gifts of love this verse speaks about. They all chose one family member to buy a gift for. In addition to this gift, they wrote a letter of love to the receiver. Their letters included words of encouragement and appreciation. They asked for forgiveness of past wounds and sought renewed relationship with one another.

 
My sister told me that reading these letters outloud before they opened gifts brought tears of love, healing, and restoration. She never gave the gifts a second thought after this wonderful experience. As the tears flowed from her family, in her heart she celebrated their best Christmas. The boxes may have been the fewest ever, but the love was the most! She was content.

 
My sister inspired me. How can I encourage my family to focus on spreading God's love to each other and those we come in contact with this holiday? How can I encourage others not to "keep up with the Joneses," but instead to "keep up" with Jesus' idea of extravagantly given love?

  How about your family as this Christmas season approaches? Is the tight economy exactly what your family needs to prompt you to rein in your traditional spending and refocus this year? I know it is for me and my family.


Dear Lord, may the tough times so many of us are experiencing financially, point us back to You. Help me hear Your voice this season and truly demonstrate what this precious holiday is all about. In Jesus' Name. Amen

Wassup saints, hope everyone is doing well and please more stories/words of encouragement/etc . . . some of us are hiding behind the scenes and enjoying from a distance .

Stay blessed!

Dads should take a moment to contemplate the roles they play in their children's lives.  Our children are learning by examples, they are always watching to see whether our actions are congruent with our words.  Watch this short video below.

The Song of Creation
December 7, 2008

"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding . . . When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (Job 38:4-7)

It is significant that there was singing at the very time of creation. The "morning stars" of this verse are, by Hebrew poetic parallelism, the same as the "sons of God " who were present when God "laid the foundations of the earth." Similarly, "sang together" is parallel with "shouted for joy."

It is thus beautifully appropriate to sing of the glories of God's creation, for angels were doing this even before Adam and Eve were created! The first actual human song mentioned in the Bible, however, was the thanksgiving song of Moses (Exodus 15:1-21), composed and sung by Moses and the children of Israel after their deliverance from Pharaoh and the waters of the sea.

Finally, it is significant that the last song mentioned in the Bible is "the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb" (Revelation 15:3), sung in heaven by[i] "them that had gotten the victory over the beast"[/i] (v. 2). This presumably refers back to the original song of Moses, since the deliverance from Pharaoh was, spiritually, a type of their triumph over the beast, the great world ruler in the end times.  However, it must now be combined with the song of the Lamb, probably the "new song" of the saints at the Lamb's throne in Revelation 5:8-10, praising the Lord for their redemption through His blood, shed in substitution for their sins.

These should surely be the three major themes of Christian music, for these are the main themes of the Bible's songs.  It is fitting that they should refer to the past, present, and future works of Christ--His mighty work of creation in the beginning, His gracious work of sustenance in the present, and His glorious work of full redemption in the future. HMM

Strong and Courageous

"And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD." (1 Chronicles 28:20)

This admonition--to be strong and of good courage--is found eleven times in the Bible--thrice on the lips of Moses, five times in Joshua, then twice from David, and once from Hezekiah. Although these all involved specific challenges confronting God's people at the time, the principles behind them indicate the need for courage of conviction for God's people at all times.

The first occurrence is in the command given by Moses to the Israelites just before his death as they were about to enter the Promised Land. "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee" (Deuteronomy 31:6). In the next verse, Moses gave a similar exhortation to Joshua, their leader.

The next-to-last occurrence is in our text, containing almost the same words as in the first occurrence, with David this time exhorting Solomon to build the great temple in Jerusalem. Whether entering a new field of service for God or beginning a great work for God, the people of God will encounter opposition, and must be strong and courageous to carry it through.

The word "courage" occurs more in Joshua than in any other book of the Bible, and this specific exhortation is given five times: three by God, once by the people to Joshua, and once by Joshua to the people. In all these, the context stresses obedience to the Word of God, especially in resistance to sin and pagan belief systems. Especially significant is God's command: "Be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law . . . that thou mayest prosper" (Joshua 1:7). HMM
