Listen to God this Christmas
Can you imagine this Christmas without hearing God’s voice?
Friend, it’s possible.
In the midst of holiday shopping…
In the preparation for Christmas dinner…
In the expectations of what the season should bring…
It’s entirely possible to wake up on January 1st without without having connected your heart to His. Often, it is not even a conscious choice we make. We are just so busy that we fail to make space for God.
But, the good news is we can change that!
All we need to do is intentionally slow down and create space for God.
-
Take three deep breaths.
Inhale fully. Exhale fully.
Invite God into this moment.
Ask him to silence the noise and distractions.
Then, when you are settled, ask Him a question like, “What do you want me to know about you this Christmas?”
Now, be quiet. Resist the urge to speak.
Just be still and listen.
Friend, God is always speaking - even in the noise, the shopping, and celebrations.
The question is “Are we listening?”.
Creating space for God’s voice is a choice.
We either…
Experience God or miss Him.
Hear what He has to say to us or let the noise of Christmas drown out his voice.
Let the miracle of Christmas move our hearts or let the commercialism take over.
So, let me ask you: How would this Christmas season be so much more meaningful if you created space to listen for God’s voice?
Let’s make the choice so be still and listen, together.
