Tomorrow is the Big Day, defined by four things: food, football, family, and faith.
Especially faith.
Seven hundred years before the first Christmas, the prophet said this:
“But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days” (Micah 5:2).
Billy Graham said of Christmas, “Christmas should be a day when our minds go back to Bethlehem, beyond the noise of our materialistic world, to hear the soft flutter of angels’ wings. God did not send his heavenly angelic hordes to accomplish his majestic purpose, but he sent a tiny, tender, helpless babe in the person of his son. Don’t leave Jesus in the manger; don’t remember him only at Christmas. Instead, learn to walk with him every day, as you pray and read his Word and ask him to help you.”
Get ready for the Big Day.
Recovery Step: Enjoy the food. Take in the football. Hang out with the family. But don’t forget your faith.
