Not every Christian is called to be around relatives and friends this year. Service comes in seasons and some people don't know when to sit down and be quiet. So for those who are stubborn, once again they will learn the hard way as for others who have an ear to hear listen to what the Lord says to your Spirit and obey especially around loved ones.
Christmas is a test for many. We recognize that there are those who enjoy the holiday because they have been programmed for decades to do so. We also know that others simply go along just to get along while knowing full well the holiday is rooted in paganism and idol worship. To all who celebrate, God uses this holiday, as well as other pagan celebrations, to test believers.
Who are you serving and what are you willing to give up to come and follow Jesus? As we all know, the baby in the manger. grew up and went through much trial to save souls that could have been destroyed. Some believers want to keep Jesus in the manger.
Tis the season for trial, grief, victory, and an awakening. Christmas is the trial, but that new year just around the corner is the outcome. Our Father in Heaven wants praise and glory, don't grieve the Holy Ghost who ushers you to do what's right.
Come up higher and change your mindset, next year will be here before you know it and will you be doing more of the same?
