Luke 2:10-11–The joy of knowing Jesus is the joy that never fades away. In Jesus we respond to a deep desire God has woven into our hearts. Let us acknowledge our need for a Savior and make the Lord our only joy.
Isaiah 8:11-9:7 In the midst of gloom and hopelessness, the prophet Isaiah warns against trusting in or following after the advice of those that everybody around seems to be listening to. Instead, he says, fear the Lord; seek counsel from his word; and look for the coming of the Prince of Peace.
