Every time the Christmas season comes around, we look forward to putting up a tree, giving and receiving gifts,

and participating in other traditions that make this wonderful time of year so special.

But sometimes the most significant aspect of the season, remembering and focusing on the coming of Jesus, grows old and familiar.

In Come Let Us adore him, a daily Advent devotional, Paul Tripp seeks to

recapture our attention and reawaken our awe during Christmas time. Each day is structured with a

compelling, gospel-centered thought followed by an extended meditation for the day. Each of the 31

devotions also includes a scripture reading and notes for parents and children, equipping us to do

the one thing that matters most each December. Celebrate Jesus. Get your copy today at

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life. Today we'll open our Bibles to

Psalm 66, where Paul encourages us to be better at counting our blessings than we are at numbering

our complaints. To hear more of these Bible studies, visit paultrip.com slash psalms.

Here's Paul Tripp with Psalm 66.

As a psalmist recounts his life, he recounts it through the lens of the presence, the power, the grace, the help of God.

I love Psalm 66 because it gets at something that I think that most of us aren't very good at.

Psalm 66 I would entitle, count your blessings.

As I introduce Psalm 66, I want to return to a theme that we discussed when we

looked at Psalm 42. And it's this, that you and I talk to ourselves all the time. We talk to

ourselves even when we're not aware of it.

When you're doing all those mindless tasks that you do every day,

that you can do without thinking anymore, you are still thinking.

You are having an inner conversation.
