I want to say something brilliant today. Something that will make us stop and think
about the true meaning of Christmas. I
want to build up my family and friends, turn their hearts towards God, and help
them to sense His very dear, very intimate presence today – especially today.
But there are so many words this time of year. Christmas cards, songs, special programs and
sermons – it’s so … wordy.
So believe it or not, I don’t have much to say. And the scripture on my heart today is not a
traditionally “Christmas” scripture.
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and
shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but
the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak
over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. 1 Kings 19:11 – 13
Sometimes I think the magic of this season is in the gentle whisper. It the sudden, powerful, quiet realization that Christ is here. The Faithful and True. The Mover of the Mountains. The Messiah. Our Salvation.
I hope and pray over the next two days that I find that quiet, and I hope you do, too. Merry Christmas.
