Monday
We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
- Revelation 1:8
Have you ever felt like God was distant or silent in your life? Maybe you've wondered if He's really there during difficult seasons or mundane moments. The beautiful truth of Christmas is that it reveals something profound about God's nature - He is the eternal 'I AM' who exists in the present moment with you right now. When Jesus declares Himself as 'I AM' in Revelation, He's not just claiming divinity; He's emphasizing His present reality in your life. Before He mentions what He has done or what He will do, He establishes who He is right now. This isn't coincidental - it's intentional. God wants you to know that His identity and faithfulness don't depend on how often you hear from Him or feel His presence. Think about the times when you've felt most alone. Perhaps during a health scare, a relationship struggle, or a season of uncertainty. In those moments, it's easy to believe that silence means absence. But Christmas reminds us of a different truth - God has been orchestrating things behind the scenes all along, preparing to reveal Himself in ways you can comprehend. Just as God spent 400 silent years preparing the world for Christ's arrival through language, roads, and people groups, He's been actively working in your life even when you couldn't see or hear Him. His presence isn't dependent on your awareness of it, but your peace and confidence can be transformed when you recognize He's already here.
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
Memory Verse
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
- Psalm 119:11
