Words From the Well!
by
Peggie C. Bohanon
Now I LIKE suspense and surprises and as tempting as it may be, I would not DARE to peek....but I sure remember doing alot of shaking, rattling and rolling! Now whatever YOUR style of Christmas "peeking," did you know that it happened in the Bible? Yes, they "peeked" and looked ahead, through the prophetic enabling of the Holy Spirit, to the coming of the Messiah. There was Abraham and David, the prophets, and devout people throughout the ages who loved God, trusted Him and believed His promise. How wonderful that we can now look back and see what they could only see in faith. We've opened the package and the Gift is....."Wonderful, Counselor, the Almighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace!"
It's hard to wait for a promise to come true--but when you believe the Promissor, you know without a doubt that it will come to pass. God is faithful--His Word and our testimonies prove it. So bypass the mall today - you've spent all your money already anyway - and come with me to the Well to meet the fulfilled Promise of Christmas, Jesus Christ Himself--on HIM, we can depend!
God's promised you something personally "in due time." And you wait.....and wait.....and wait......will you believe? For if HE has promised it, it will happen "in due time." Remember, God keeps His promises--and He will keep His promise to you!
God's given you His Word and sometimes it's hard to hang on to His promise, isn't it! Did He really say it? Will He really do it? Yes!--He will perform what He has promised. You can place your life in His wonderful hands and know "he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day (1 Timothy 1:12)." He's trustworthy--so hesitate not to crown Him King of your life this Christmas. Let Him be Lord now--and someday you will bow at His feet to acknowledge Him as Lord forever. He can be trusted--trust Him today!
God's given you His promise, and the arch-enemy of your soul would like to steal it from your heart. He'd like to prove it untrue, a false expectation, a senseless trust, a worthless word. Well, send him packing--quote God's Word in his face, for it is true. It will come to pass; Satan's efforts to thwart God's Word will not prevail. You are His Child and His promise to you is timely, trustworthy and true!
Believe it and have a great day. Have a Merry Christmas, and remember, shake, rattle and roll the packages all you'd like--just don't peek....or I'll tell!!
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace

"Do not peek until 6 a.m. Christmas morning!!" So SAYS the note on the package...but do YOU remember shaking, rattling and rolling the mysterious Christmas packages under the tree--and MAYBE peeking 'cause you couldn't stand the suspense? One funny family memory: my sister's longtime heartthrob had given her a wrapped Christmas gift and the suspense was killing her....surely, it would be a sparkling diamond this year! Or WOULD it? She peeked; it was not! She carefully rewrapped the gift, pretended to be pleasantly surprised at the proper time, and YEARS later, confessed to her husband (yes, he finally DID pop the question!) of her mischevious misdemeanor! He's apparently forgiven her--they'll soon celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary!
"Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, the virgin shall conceive,
and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14 KJV)."
(Isaiah 9:6 KJV)."
"Lord, I love Your promises, and I see them anew at Christmas. Your promises do come to pass--they are timely, trustworthy and true. Help me remember that in my own personal walk with You each day. O Christ of Christmas, I trust You with all my heart. In Your Name, Amen.
I'm blessed with a wonderful "virtual web family," many close friends who not only help to keep me sane and smiling, but write wonderful devotionals. Enjoy their spiritual insights--and their sites as well!
