Putting
Jesus First This Christmas Season:
I
observed on how a world seeks to crowd Jesus out, where busyness abounds, and
hearts are stirred to focus on other things, it can be hard sometimes to choose
to keep Him first. It’s all too easy to get caught up in the whole hurried dash
of the holidays, and to give our attention to what seems more urgent. As
result, our focus gets blurred and the most important gets pushed aside. And, I meditated upon the verse that says “And she
gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in
a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7), pondering
on the fact there were no room for them, no vacancy nor a place for them to
rest and care for their newborn child.
In the midst of busyness, I choose to take an active and daily choice to put Christ first in my life today, especially in a culture that says you’re too busy to focus ‘there’ believing on how He is the One who brings true meaning to Christmas and that He is the One who brings real peace in this all-too-often hectic season, and I choose to live it out this season.
Are you making the choice to put Christ first in your life today?
