Psalms 103:2

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.

Do you have trouble today? Have you been hurt by someone, or fallen ill, experienced lack, or suffered devastating setbacks? It’s easy to feel sorry for yourself in times like these. But God has made a way out for you! It’s time to shut down the pity party, rise up, take hold of God’s promises, and be an overcomer!

People often say, “Give God your burdens.” Do you ever wonder: How do I do that? The brokenness of the world feels too heavy. And as much as you desire to shine the light of Jesus, you wonder what that looks like when you struggle to see the light yourself. This devotional looks at how we can be lights for Jesus even when our own world feels dark.

Dikwels wanneer vooruitsig of hoop kwyn, raak ons klein in gees en postuur. Ons loop kop onderstebo en bou konneksie met die grond. Soms van balans af en wollerig. Ons hart, siel en totale menswees voel stukkend as gevolg van hartseer, trauma, ongewenste gebeure. Maar daar is heling te vind mits jy besluit om die reis saam met God aan te pak.
