It’s Time to Get Up! It’s Christmas Morn! - December 25, 2023

 

Morning by Morning, December 25 - It’s Time to Get Up! It’s Christmas Morn!   Good morning, Lord Jesus. Today we celebrate the birth of our Savior; and every day I celebrate my new birth in You (John 3:3). ...   On a Christmas morning several years ago, You woke me up with a new song You’d written on my heart. I’m remembering that song today, as I begin my day with You:   In flurries of joy And presents galore Soon all the wrappings will cover the floor It’s time to get up It’s Christmas morn!   Children tremble with delight Their spirits and hearts take flight This is the day they’ve been longing for It’s time to get up It’s Christmas morn!   But the angel atop the Christmas tree With sparkling lights for all to see Remind us of the One whose life was born It’s time to get up It’s Christmas morn!   Eternal God, yet fully man You humbled Yourself in Your eternal plan May You be found in every heart and by every heart adorn It’s time to get up It’s Christmas morn!   Thank You, Lord Jesus -- One with the Father and One with the Holy Spirit -- You’ve humbled Yourself in the likeness of human flesh and blood to be our Savior and show us the way that leads to a life filled with the peace and joy that only a life in Christ can bring (Philippians 2:5-11; Romans 14:17; John 15:11). “You show (us) the path of life. And in Your Presence there is fullness of joy!” (Psalm 16:11)   “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).   Merry Christmas, Lord Jesus. It’s time to get up. It’s Christmas morn! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be filled afresh with the peace and joy that only a life in Christ can bring on this Christmas morn, in Jesus' name. God bless you, my friend!
