You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger…. (Luke 2:12)
If you know me well at all, you know I read road signs. I read bumper stickers. I read car tags. I read billboards. I read almost everything…
Sometimes, in reading signs, I have felt a nudge—sometimes, a billboard sign puts a period onto my morning devotion.
Like the morning I first noticed the United States Marines sign on I-10.
“Devoted to a Life of Honor”…..then on down the road, “Devoted to a Life of Courage”…. and “Devoted to a Life of Service”.
Those were signs not only for me—but for all.
Not that we are called to a life in the U.S. Marine Corp, although that is an incredible privilege for those who are called and chosen for that life’s walk…but those signs were signs for us. For Christians everywhere to remember exactly what we are called to do and be.
Devoted.
Honorable.
Courageous.
Servants.
On this Christmas Day, let us remember that HE, as King of Kings, made a decision to be devoted to us….insomuch that HE chose…HE DELIBERATELY CHOSE to become ONE OF US.
A servant to all.
All who would RECEIVE HIM.
When you receive HIM, fully and without any reservations or hesitations…will find yourself changing daily—your walk will become one of honor, courage, servitude, and full devotion. Your outward manner will reflect what is inside your heart.
My prayer for you today is that you will find yourself searching for HIM in all the dailyness of living.
I am so thankful for having been a part of your life in 2012. I hope to continue to share and show Christ via clicked out words on this keyboard in 2013.
