Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Luke 1:46

Christmas is a time of vision, a time to consider the landscape of human life, what it means, and why it’s valuable. The mental image of Christmas is the Nativity, the crude circumstances that surrounded the moment when God reinforced the dignity of Humanity by clothing Himself as a human. But He did not stop there. Christmas brings into focus the only two sacred things in this world—God and People. Christmas is about Life. The Author of Life. Your Life. My Life. And the Life of the world. This 12-day Plan celebrates Life.

Christmas is the story of a God who comes close. In this 12-day devotional, we reflect on how Jesus stepped into our world with humility, hope and love — not as a distant king but as one who draws near to the lowly and the waiting. Each day offers Scripture, reflection and prayer to help us slow down and see how the birth of Christ speaks to our everyday lives. His coming isn’t just something to celebrate. It’s something to experience. May this journey lead you to wonder, worship and a deeper awareness of his nearness this season.

The lead-up to Christmas can quickly fill up with things to do, errands to run, and things to plan. Before we know it, Christmas has come and gone, and we're left wondering, "Did I even focus on the real reason behind the season?"

From prophesies foretold thousands of years ago, to testimonies of those whose God's glory was first revealed, this plan will help grow gratitude in your heart for God's great gift to us.

Committing scripture to memory can be difficult. Singing along with a song isn’t. It’s with this idea, songwriter Kacey Walkingstick has written the Gospel of Luke into song, word for word.

Often, we are tempted to only take prayer requests to God that have a precedence in history of being answered. But God waits to propel our situations into ground-breaking, history-making miracles, if only we have the faith to ask for that which is infinitely above and beyond human reach. Struggling to make some wild prayers? If that’s the case, this 14-day journey is for you.

Our view of blessed is often tethered to a continually changing spectrum—our circumstances. If life is good, in our view, we’re blessed. If life isn’t going well, in our view, we’re not blessed. But is our definition of blessed the same as God’s? We’ll look at how God defines “blessed.” It turns out, we’re very likely missing how “blessed” we all are—regardless of what’s going on around us.

Our kind of Christmas isn’t working. The status quo of our holiday season pushes us into busyness, distraction, and exhaustion instead of the rest and relief that Jesus came to bring.

Human relationships are almost always messy because people are involved, but God isn’t people. God is God. He is completely, TOTALLY different. If our relationship to/with Him is ever messy, it's only because we made it that way. We invite you to put aside any assumptions you've made about God and let Him speak for Himself. We think you’ll find that He is much easier to trust than people.

It doesn’t matter if you have been downsized, laid off or outsourced, let go or fired. The pain is real, and the terrible toll of fear, anger, confusion, and uncertainty that happens when a person’s world collapses around him or her is much more than a statistical reality. It is just real. We pray that these devotionals will be used by Him to bring you hope and encouragement.

The world can sometimes feel full of disappointments and difficult circumstances. The idea of joy may seem too lofty. Joy is something we choose to see, no matter the circumstances. A joy we choose to feel, even when the world feels empty and cold, and one that shows us we were meant for more than we know. Let's discover the elevated life of joy that is our gift from God.

“This Christmas season let’s remember that God’s promises are not like ours – fragile and sometimes forgotten – but are firm, fulfilled and forever. In every wrapped gift, flickering Christmas tree light and sung carol, may we see a reflection of the ultimate gift: Jesus, the righteous branch – our everlasting hope.” (The Promise of a Righteous Branch – Robbie Parkin)
