Tuesday
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.
One of the most beautiful patterns in Scripture is God's consistent movement toward His creation. From the very beginning, He walked with Adam and Eve in the garden. He chose to dwell among the Israelites, fill the temple with His glory, and ultimately become flesh to live among us. This isn't a story of humanity reaching up to find God, but of God reaching down to find us. Perhaps you've grown up thinking that faith is about your effort to get closer to God - that you need to pray harder, read more, or somehow earn His attention. But the story of Christmas flips this narrative completely. God is the one who has been moving toward you all along. He's not looking for opportunities to move away or to make you jump through hoops to get His attention. When God made His covenant with Abraham, He established His presence before making any promises. This pattern continues throughout Scripture and into your life today. Before God asks you to trust His plans for your future, He wants you to know He's in the room with you right now. This changes everything about how you approach your relationship with God. You don't have to perform or prove yourself worthy of His attention. You don't have to wonder if you've prayed the right words or done enough good deeds. God has already made the first move, and He continues to move toward you every single day. Christmas is the ultimate proof that God wants to be close to you. The incarnation wasn't Plan B - it was always His heart to dwell with His people.
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!
