One Little Baby



One Little Baby

One Little Baby was all it took
He came to Earth...and look!
One Little Baby, purer than gold
He gives us Life eternal - and behold!
You will live because of Him.

Imagine If You Were There!

"The Bible says the night Jesus was born, God's glorious light surrounded and terrified shepherds guarding their sheep in the fields.  Stupefied, they watched and listened as an angel appeared to announce the great event.  Then the heavens opened to reveal "a multitude of the heavenly host" - countless angels saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.'  What a sight!  What a sound! What an overwhelming, matchless, indescribable experience!" 
Author Nan Anderson in the Anchor Devotional, Dec. 13, 2015 -- I highly recommend getting this devotional monthly! It's doing wonders for me.

Can you imagine?  What if you were there to experience this?  I am just in awe of it!  How I wish the world could see this today!  This is what we should celebrate!  This is what Christmas is about!  This is what the Bible says:


Luke 2:8-14 (GNT)  "There were some shepherds in that part of the country who were spending the night in the fields, taking care of their flocks.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone over them.  They were terribly afraid, but the angel said to them, 'Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people.  This very day in David's town your Savior was born - Christ the Lord!  And this is what will prove it to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'  Suddenly a great army of heaven's angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God: 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom He is pleased!'

I AM WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO

"I AM WITH YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO, even in the most menial task. I am always aware of you, concerned with every detail of your life. Nothing escapes My notice-not even 'the number of hairs on your head'. However, your awareness of My Presence falters and flickers; as a result, your life experience feels fragmented. When your focus is broad enough to include Me in your thoughts, you feel safe and complete. When your perception narrows so that problems or details fill your consciousness, you feel empty and incomplete.

Learn to look steadily at Me in all your moments and all your circumstances. Though the world is unstable and in flux, you can experience continuity through your uninterrupted awareness of My Presence. 'Fix your gaze on what is unseen', even as the visible world parades before your eyes." -- Jesus Calling, Sarah Young (December 7) Matthew 10:29-31; Hebrews 11:27; 2 Corinthians 4:18

Matthew 10:29-31 "For only a penny you can buy two sparrows, yet not one sparrow falls to the ground without your Father's consent. And for you, even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth much more than many sparrows!"

Hebrews 11:27 "It was faith that made Moses leave Egypt without being afraid of the king's anger. As though he saw the invisible God, he refused to turn back."

2 Corinthians 4:18 "For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever."
