I think one of the pervasive lies Satan uses in our culture is, "you're missing out on life." It drives us to pack our schedule beyond capacity. It drives us to schedule our children to a point where it hurts their ability to do well in those very activities. Coupled with fear this lie destroys our life.
If we focus on God, asking Him what we should do, it builds our true life. In God's Kingdom, if we focus on what God would have us focus, we have life more abundant. Less is more.
It starts this very moment, with the little choices. As He trains us, we learn how to honor Him with the big decisions. This is a process which builds over time. It is a lifestyle of obeying God. It is marked by submission and humility. When we ask God, we must ask with the intention of obeying, even if we don't like the response.
As we think about this busy season of celebration, let's keep in mind that God loves to party! He even commands it in the Bible! :) If we really want to enjoy Christmas to the fullest, we need to learn to party with God.
Are you tired and worn out from empty "rituals", or a crazy "to-do" list for the holiday? Come to Jesus, and party like the Rock Star!
