The Invitation
December is a month filled with invitations. Office parties, Sunday school parties, school holiday programs and the list goes on. But we have an indescribable daily invitation to come into the presence of Jesus and be nurtured.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. James 4:8
When our six children were growing up we started a tradition during the school year of gathering in our bedroom, still in pajamas, for morning Bible study. It was an excellent habit to form. The "Boojoyful" weekly devotional is a great catalyst to keep me in that habit, as well as being part of formal weekly group study.
Listen to Jesus' words in John 7:38
On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted, “If you are thirsty, come to me and drink! Have faith in me, and you will have life-giving water flowing from deep inside you, just as the Scriptures say.”
There is plenty to be doing this Christmas season, but let's not do anything without inviting Jesus to lead the way.
