Word for the day "Christ-Mas"
Psalm 34:8 (KJV) O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Christ-Mas- The Latin word Mas means more. And Christ-Mas means more of Christ.
Did you know, unlike physical hunger? Our appetite for God is endless. Once you have satisfied your physical hunger you no longer want to eat.In fact, the sight, smell, or even the thought of food can almost make you sick after you’ve eaten your fill.But the opposite is true of our appetite for God. The very act of satisfying your appetite for God intensifies it.That’s precisely why Scripture tells us to ‘Taste and see that the Lord is good.’ To come to the Lord’s table where there is a feast going on.How is your appetite for the Lord?
Christ has everything to do with this amazing season and let’s not forget it.
Jesus was born in order to pay the price for the sins of humankind. God sent his only son to be the atonement for all our sins so that we would not be separated from God.Without Jesus, we would all die for our sins. We inherited our sinful nature from the first human beings God created, Adam and Eve. While fully God and yet fully man, Jesus came into the world as an infant to save us all.Experience for yourself that God satisfies completely.And when you do, something wonderful and life-changing will happen: you’ll find yourself wanting more of the Lord and less of what you’ve been using as a cheap substitute for God.Do you have a hunger for God? This Christ-mas season is a great time for more of Christ.
Point to ponder
After this year of 2020 that we’ve all had, your Christmas gifts are the people remaining in your life. To God be the glory for all the great things He has done.
