And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life. Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. [1 John 5.20-21]
How appropriate for Christmas Day! Oh, may we not forget that Christmas is indeed about Christ.
Today we celebrate that Jesus, the Messiah, has come. We celebrate because His coming opens our understanding of our true God. Jesus' Advent provides the example, the model, the pattern, the "fellowship" in which we know and experience Almighty God and the eternal life He has given.
May we look at Jesus today as we have never before. Merry Christmas to all.
Father in heaven, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one - keep us away from anything that might take Your place in our hearts!

Amen brother we so need that prayer daily, or at least I do. This wicked ol’ flesh and this nasty ol’ world try’s to stick to us and drag us down continually. I love your freshness in all your words brother. Bless you and your family this day and all the Lord continues to bring.
