Christmas is quickly approaching, and it seems like there is so much to do. However, this time shouldn’t be about hurry and get! It should be about sit and reflect. The psalmist tells us what God says. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Over the next few days, as you prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, find a quiet place and know that He is God. Spend some time getting yourself ready for Christmas and pray that God will do amazing things in the coming days.
