Two words that in most vocabularies don't co-exist. Christmas is synonymous with "bustle", "hustle" and "wrestle" and very little "peace on earth" or "silent night". Stop, look, listen; these are words spoken to us as children learning a new skill. Somehow now it needs to be awoken in us again -- to wonder at the mysteries of God's love arriving one morn 2,000+ calendars ago ... The simplicity of faith is in contrast to the profundity of His work in those who believe He seeks and desires communication with man. John 3:16 is oft quoted but still resounds in its clear message: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not die but have life forever. (my paraphrase).
Stop, look, listen; God has provided an opportunity for us if we would hear His quiet voice speak to us today as He did in the days of Rome's rule centuries ago. Has man changed with all the gadgets and tech? We still long for meaning and significance, all of which God offers. Hebrews 11:6 For he who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Find a quiet moment. Seek Him today. He came for you. He loves you.
