Forever Christmas

Celebrating the everlasting impact of Christmas

The Christmas season provides wonderful opportunities to be drawn into the story of the "Journey to the Manger." Over 2000 years ago, a Savior was born that forever changed history. He still reigns today! Making Your Life Count radio host Steve Douglass offers a suggestion for making it "Forever Christmas."

The light the shepherds saw that Christmas night was just a little taste of living eternally in the light of God's presence. But on this side of eternity, we all have opportunities to let our light shine for Jesus - especially at Christmas. May we respond to help others experience "Forever Christmas" in the days ahead.

Application Questions:

• Who is someone that you would like to see discover Jesus, the light of the world?
• What steps can you take to pray and care for them?

Conclusion

In the middle of Proverbs 22, there is a powerful verse. It is almost as if Solomon called a time out to remind the reader why he gives these life lessons. It says, “I am teaching you today — yes, you — so you will trust in the Lord” (NLT). That is it. God uses life lessons to build our trust. Our prayer is that these six days spent learning about Journey to a Manger are a reminder to do that — to increase your trust in Him.
