Graceful Truth

Our greatest problem is not the economy, the culture, or the world we live in. Our most debilitating issue from which all other problems derive is our separation from God. We have lost the one thing that makes us work, that makes us whole and right.

Joseph had no idea how vital a role his simple, prompt response played, and neither will you. But your instant obedience today, and every day, is more important than you realize.

The birth of Christ was like no other man. It was not the natural entrance of one who would become an important historical figure. This was different altogether. As we come to remember and celebrate the entrance of Christ (which is a vitally important thing to do), it is easy to bend to the temptation to treat it humanistically. Satan would like nothing more than to denigrate it to Claus and commercialism. To divert our attention from the glory of Christ.

God understands us. He knows it is hard for us to stand in faith (particularly in the midst of trouble) without hearing from a higher Source. Without a promise from Him.

He is always waiting to meet us where we are to see if we will cooperate.
