"The Room"

A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes

“The Room”
Luke 2:7
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

At Christmas Time we want abundance and favor from God. We pray and ask the Lord for extra jobs, extra money, extra time, extra-extra-extra. Then Christmas is over and things get back to normal. The Christmas Spark is gone and we have put all the decorations back in the boxes. We have taken down the tree and Christmas is over. We don’t think about Christmas again until we have to. We don’t think about the “room” we made in our hearts for The Christmas Miracle, His birth, the shepherds, the kings, or the star. We put that “room” back in a box as well and store it away. Keep that “room” in your heart open and put Jesus first all year long, not just at Christmas Time. You are His child. Be sure to keep child like faith and the Wonder of Christmas in your heart. Don’t lock the “room”.
Lord, thank You for the Wonder of Christmas. When I look into the eyes of a child at Christmas Time, I see You. I see all of the reasons You came to this earth. I see all of the reasons You were nailed to a cross. Thank You for that reason being—me. Amen
