Will You Use the Gift?

“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

You opened several gifts yesterday. I'm sure some thrilled you and already today you are using them. Some still require assembly. A few made you laugh. And perhaps there was one gift that you will place in a cupboard never to be seen again. You'll choose not to use it!

Christmas can be the same way. Yesterday we celebrated the birth of our Lord and Savior. A day of joy, peace and hope. Now, the challenge is put before us. Will we walk with him into the next year? Will we carry his word in our hearts and allow his Spirit to move within us? Or will we go back to life as usual? The choice is ours. 

You have unwrapped a beautiful gift over the past 12 days. Now it is time to choose whether or not you will use that gift or allow it to collect dust until next Christmas. 


Throughout this next year, we will continue to pray for your walk and can’t wait to share with you what we are learning. We also hope you will share with us!
