Here is a link to my Christmas devotional on Amazon, Beyond the Nativity:
https://a.co/d/el4gZiD
This book consists of twenty devotions Each devotion includes scripture to read, questions to ponder, and a historical painting of the nativity to view.
The beautiful art in this book coupled with the deep truths of the incarnation are just what the Christ-follower's heart desires leading up to Christmas.
8. What Dreams and Desires Get In the Way of More Fully Embracing Jesus and Others?
Am I embracing the dream or Jesus, the dream-giver?
After establishing that answer, I’m moving on to the next level of contentment:
Am I thinking correctly about God, the truths of who I am in Christ, and what I have in Him?
Do these truths impact my perspective of life and my level of contentment?
If I answer no, I go on to the next level:
Why? Am I ignoring God’s working in my heart to look to Him for something?
Am I holding onto sin or false belief?
7. How is My Level of Contentment Impacted By My Perspective of God?
How is your level of contentment impacted by your theological perspective? I'm asking myself and others that question on the podcast this week.
6. Am I Content With My Level of Contentment?
5. Do I Practically Live As If I Don’t Trust God In Certain Situations?
4. Do I Live All of Life Like I Believe It’s Under the Lordship of Christ?
