Be Still

He says, โ€œBe still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth
(Psalm 46:10).

The rush is on! Is everything just so for Christmas? Did I get something for everyone on my list? Is the meal going to taste good? Will the family appreciate what I have put together?

Christmas is such a wondrous, joyous time. Yet it also proves to be hectic โ€“ and headache filled โ€“ as we focus so much on the details. Details that, at times, take the mind off of the Christ who has come to bring to us such a wondrous, awe-filled gift.

LWML in its resources has numerous studies, both individual and multi-session ones, to bring the focus back to Christ in the midst of the hectic days. Just type โ€œChristmasโ€ in the search bar and find a resource that might give you a moment to โ€œBe stillโ€ and recall why you are gathering together as family. You are here because Christ has come to you.

So, take a moment, grab that cup of coffee or hot chocolate, sit down on the couch. and reflect with an LWML study and breathe. God has come to you. Merry Christmas!

โ€œBe still, and know that I am Godโ€ (Psalm 46:10).
