"Stand, See, Ask for the old paths." What are the "Old Paths?" Love God with our whole being! Love our neighbor as our self. Withstand the evil of our day - Shod our feet with the gospel - Stand fast in the Holy Spirit - Open our eyes, that we may behold wondrous things.

When we magnify Him we "increase" our love for Him! Such increase of our Lord causes hope to arise, peace springs forth, and we remember God is for us and no weapon formed by the enemy can daunt the power of His blood that covers us!

It is good to be reminded that God is requiring His people to stand strong in the face of this hour of darkness. Let us think what we would like to "get done" as we enter this New Year!" Let's Get It Done in 2021!

Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. No wonder Isaiah wrote (12:3) "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water our of the wells of salvation." Oh, that our joy might be full in Jesus, our life giver - O let the celebration continue as we celebrate life!

This is the holiest time of the year as we celebrate "Salvation Has Come!" The gifts of Christ that He has given to us can not be purchased with monies, they are powerful gifts of His love. Let's take a look at these gifts; joy, peace, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and eternal life!

The shepherds were invited to visit the Christ Child! They returned to their field, glorifying and praising

God for all the things they had heard and seen. This is the most glorious advent as the total event unfolds! I'm wondering what Mary and Joseph thought as the shepherds came bustling into the stable?

While Christ was with His Father from the beginning, He was privy to the offering that His Father would ask of Him. It was not just His obedience, but as God's plan for humanity came into focus, it would require obedience in the lives of others, Joseph, Mary, the shepherds, and the kings all that responded to obedience. In all, it must have been an obedience of their hearts! Today such obedience is being offered to the body of Christ.

In this moment in time where there is much turmoil, devastation, and strife, we open our hearts to the "joyful sounds," despite the commotion in our world. As we hear the joyful sound of prophecy may it drown out the noise of the day and bring us into His joy! Micah 5:2
