Luke 2:33, 41

How will you prepare to celebrate the birth of the Savior this year? Many people have traditions such as listening to Christmas music, sending cards, decorating a tree, or reading the Christmas story. During this Advent devotion, we'll be looking at 5 different responses from people who were present for the coming of Jesus and we'll look at how they prepared for His arrival. We'll now look at Simeon’s response.

In the “God With Us” study, we will walk through Luke 2:1-38 and take a closer look at three key components of the Christmas story: the arrival, announcement, and assignment of Immanuel.

Learn three things surrender accomplishes in our spiritual formation and life with God as we chronicle Mary’s call to birth the savior of the world. Each day Tanya Godsey will guide you through the landscape of scripture, insightful truths, and guided prayers to invite you to surrender your plans for the possibility of being surprised by God.

The aim of this devotion is to help you put a little bit of "Awe and Wonder" back into your celebration as you contemplate and celebrate the birth of Jesus from a child-like faith. During this special time of Christmas celebration, may you prepare your heart to prepare Jesus even more room all year through.
