Are you already off to a fast start, feeling like you’re drinking from a fire hydrant? Well, that is usually how December starts for us, but we are thankful to be drinking from a saucer because our cup overflows. Glory to Jesus.
I want to encourage your heart with this one thought. “Practice Christianity!” Now, meditate on that! As you sit with the Lord, day after day, and He tells you incredible things and fills you with His Spirit, are you (and I) walking in what He has spoken? Are we sharing it with others? Are WE teaching our children and grandchildren or allowing someone else to do it? This HOLY DAY SEASON and beyond, I want to encourage you to PRACTICE CHRISTIANITY!!! Keep on being filled with God’s Spirit through Bible study, prayer and personal worship, then share, share, share.
I think about and I watch ones from a different faith than ours, practice their faith and teach it to their children. I mean they drill it in, and those little ones are as adamant as their parents. Leaving that faith would mean leaving the family and a family inheritance! Yet many times, we Christians leave the teaching of our faith to Christian schools or Sunday school classes.
Christianity is BEAUTIFUL because it is not a ritual at all. It is LIFE in the Spirit! Yes, there are structured times of prayer, Bible study and corporate worship, but all day long we are being led by the Spirit to pray, to rejoice, to encourage and be encouraged. We are empowered by our God to do and be everything He created us for.
Think it through and really PRACTICE CHRISTIANITY – practice your faith this Christmas season and for the rest of your life. See what a difference FAITH makes.
1 John 5:4 – For whatever is born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world OUR FAITH! (caps for emphasis!)
