Liz’s Morning Devotional based upon Upper Room
December 26, 2021
Read Proverbs 23:22-25
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life; don’t despise your elderly mother. 23 Buy truth and don’t sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding. 24 The father of the righteous will be very happy; the one who gives life to the wise will rejoice. 25 Your father and your mother will rejoice; she who gave you birth will be happy.
Good Morning! Seek the truth!
As I settle down from the celebration of the birth of the Messiah, I take time to thank God and to thank my family and friends for all my blessings. Each morning I take time to reflect upon my life. I pray for love and mercy for all those in my life, and for those I have yet to meet. Then I begin to prepare for a new day brimming with possibilities. I sit and stare at the lights on my tree and catch the glimpses of glory that God has prepared for me.
God our Creator asks us to honor our parents: our earthly parents and our heavenly parent. We honor them by seeking truth and justice and by showing the world the love and mercy with which we have been blessed.
Use the joy that has been received in this special time of year to sustain you as you walk along your path towards the light. Don’t waste time on distractions, but devote yourselves to the service of your God by leading those who still exist in darkness to the light. This is a daunting task but through God’s strength, we are ready. May we soar with the eagles!
Creator God, Thank You for loving us. With the birth of your Son, we are blessed. May we use this blessing to transform us into the beings that you see in us. Thank You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen
Thought for the day: Embrace God our Creator!
Accept your Blessings! Pastor Liz
