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.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

- John 1:14

Imagine the most powerful person you know choosing to become completely helpless. That's exactly what happened at Christmas, but on an infinite scale. The One who commands the stars chose to rest in a teenage girl's arms. The Creator of lungs borrowed breath from the very air He had made. This wasn't a cosmic accident or divine improvisation. Every detail was planned with precision. Over 300 Old Testament prophecies pointed to this moment, with Jesus fulfilling specific birth prophecies that would be mathematically impossible to orchestrate by human effort. From His birthplace in Bethlehem to His virgin birth, from His lineage through David to the timing of His arrival - everything aligned perfectly according to God's eternal plan. The humbling of Christ reveals the heart of God toward us. He didn't send an angel or a prophet to save us. He came Himself. The same hands that shaped mountains and carved out ocean depths became tiny infant fingers grasping for His mother's touch. The voice that spoke light into existence became a baby's cry in the night. This incredible act of humility wasn't just about getting our attention - it was about getting close to us. God desired relationship with us so deeply that He was willing to experience every aspect of human life, from birth to death. When we feel small, insignificant, or forgotten, we can remember that the God of the universe chose to become small too, just to be near us.

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!

I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

-Psalm 119:11
