I can tell that Yah's Spirit is starting to convict folks regarding Christmas. I keep seeing posts from high profile Christian political commentators going out of their way to defend the holiday as not being pagan. They wouldn't be doing that if people weren't starting to think.

Thought for Today: Friday December 24:

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. -- Proverbs 15:1

So much energy is expended in anger that you are literally, exhausted. The after effect is one of despondency. Anger that simmers and seethes is even more depressing because it permits a constant leakage of energy. Next time you feel anger rising, remember this verse and choose the soft answer. You will be amazed at the self-control and energy it gives.

I haven't set out to, but I've been finding myself talking about the origins of Christmas with a lot of people lately. The conversation has come up several times with my co-workers. They ask "you doing anything for Christmas?" I respond "Nah, I already celebrated Jesus' birthday during the Feast of Tabernacles".

Noah had nothing to go on but the Word of God - nothing tangible that he could touch, no visual signs of a flood, no precedence, nothing! Is your faith like Noah's?

[Moses] supposed that his brothers would understand that God was giving them salvation by his hand, but they did not understand.
Acts 7:25

Stephen said Moses was aware of his messianic role before his personal exile from Egypt. Like Yeshua, his brothers rejected him the first time, so he had to leave for awhile and come back when they were ready. God will have his way eventually. When we refuse him, he might seem to leave us, but really he only goes to prepare for our further refinement. Refusal is never refusal, but only a ticket back into the crucible.

This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years.
Acts 7:36
