Our focus has a significant impact on our overall health.
We are in the Second Sunday of Advent, and it matters where our hearts are at this time as we prepare for the great Feast of Christmas. Our Gospel Portion today is St. Matthew 3:1-12, and we will delve into
For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”
Matthew 3:3
There are many pressures the Holiday Season brings. Everyone needs the right present. Do we have everything we need to have the magnificent Christmas Party? There are all these special gift days, like Black Friday (which can last for many days). Do we have enough money in our bank account and on various credit cards? I have been there, and these are essential concerns. But are our hearts ready to receive the Savior’s First Coming?
Jesus, the Emmanuel, wants us to have total healing, and we can receive it if we do not let the things of Christmas outweigh the meaning of Christmas.
How do we do this? Schedule time to read the Scriptures for the season. Schedule time to meditate and pray that our hearts will be ready to receive Jesus most profoundly on Christmas Day and Christmastide.
We must work as hard as we do to make our Christmas Healing as great as preparing for gifts and the Season’s celebrations.
Make a straight path for Jesus to come into us and bring us healing!
