Luke 1:67-79 This Christmas, we are not just called to receive Him.  We are not just called to behold Him.  We are called to share Him.  May the blessings of God’s gift fill you so completely that it runs in you and through you and blesses those around you.  May your heart be filled with hope, peace, joy, and love this season and always.  Merry Christmas!

Luke 7:36-50 You are an ambassador for Christ, and there is no greater honor or privilege.  Every conversation, every interaction you encounter with those around you, every word, every attitude shown through your body language, is your chance to represent Christ Jesus and His unsurpassing love to others.  For more content from Kelly Wenner, be sure to visit SoulStrength Fit , Kelly's YouTube...

1 John 3:16-18 “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.”  We are called to a different kind of death -  death to our selfish nature.   Death to the part of us who wants to be right, have our way, or seek our own good. Can you think of a time that God asked you to show love to someone you didn’t particularly like or put someone else’s needs before your own (even th...

Love is who God is.  Love is part of His unchanging nature.  Our opening readings come from the books of Malachi and James: “Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I am the Lord, and I do n...

Keep me safe, O God,     for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the Lord, “You are my Master!     Every good thing I have comes from you.” The godly people in the land     are my true heroes!     I take pleasure in them! Troubles multiply for those who chase after other gods.     I will not take part in their sacrifices of blood     or even speak the names of their gods. Lord, you alone are...

“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up.”  Listen to this passage from the book of  Numbers and note the comparison Jesus is making between himself and the bronze snake. “They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea. But the people grew impatient on the way;   they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought...

Psalm 126 There are so many ways God makes His power known in our lives.  When we stop long enough to reflect on all the ways that He works in our lives, we can’t help but to be filled with the joy that comes from knowing He is who He says He is, He is with us, and He loves us. What are examples of ways God has worked in your life? www.soulstrengthfit.com

John 13:1-17 If we are seeking true joy, it won’t be found in self-service and gratification.  Serving others doesn’t seem fulfilling, but when we adopt the mindset of Christ and honor others above ourselves, we take on a servant-attitude and find we are filled with the peace and joy that Jesus promises.  For more content form Kelly, Including Bible Study workouts and Bible story exercise videos f...

But Paul and Barnabas traveled inland to Antioch On the Sabbath they went to the synagogue for the services.   After the usual readings from the books of Moses] and the prophets, those in charge of the service sent them this message: “Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, come and give it.” 16 So Paul stood, lifted his hand to quiet them, and started speaking. “Men of Isr...

Our opening readings come from the book of Matthew and the book of John: This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[ a ]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[ b ] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind...

Deuteronomy 31:1-6 Moses gave Joshua a promise in this passage, and this promise remained true even during the Intertestamental Period (the 400 year period between the Old Testament and the Gospel of Matthew).  It appeared that God was absent, but He wasn’t.  He hadn’t forgotten His promise; He would send a rescuer, a second Elijah, to rescue them.  This promise begins a long period of waiting and...

Malachi 4:5-6, Matthew 2:1-6  God’s people have experienced great waiting and silence from God.

We cannot follow Jesus in a rush.  We can’t think what He would think, do what He would do, or feel what He would feel in a hurry.  Hurry keeps us from living to our fullest and loving to our fullest.  If you want to follow Jesus, you need to periodically slow down enough to actually follow Him.  Can you be still, for just a moment, and know that He is God?
