Summary
As we spend the week focusing on drawing near to God this Christmas season, today we’ll explore a fun concept. Every morning is like Christmas morning when you know and walk with God. God is so, so good. And he desires for us to walk in the gifts of his goodness all the days of our lives. May we reorient our thinking so that each morning with God is more exciting than the next as we experience afresh his love and kindness.
Our Scripture for today comes from Lamentations 3:22-23, and today's worship is Morning Song by Steffany Gretzinger.
Thanks for listening to today’s podcast, the second in our week-long focus on drawing near to God.
As you go about your day today, what’s one way you can create some space to receive gifts from God throughout your day? Maybe it’s pausing for a moment at the start of every hour, taking a deep breath, and letting God in. Whatever it is, may you find joy and purpose in the gifts of God given to you out of his love for you.
Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
