Can you believe that it is December? The month ahead will be a busy one for families and church families. We must never allow our schedules to crowd out time in the Scripture. Every day is a day to celebrate our Savior and one of the best ways to do so is to spend time with Him each day.

Beginning Monday on Enjoying The Journey we will study some of the great Scripture texts about the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be a month of Christmas on the podcast! We hope you will join us as we walk through God’s Word and meditate on our wonderful Savior. Each week we will look at a special part of the Christmas message…

  • Week One: “The Names of Jesus” – There is no name like the name of Jesus! Discover the meaning and power of the name of Christ. Learn how to use it in your own life.
  • Week Two: “Christmas Beginnings” – You might be surprised to find the first Christmas messages were given in the Old Testament! Hundreds of years before Bethlehem God was setting His plan in motion.
  • Week Three: “Christ In Christmas” – The message of Christmas is the message of the gospel. Christ came to earth to make a way for man to come to God. It goes far beyond the manger!
  • Week Four: “Christmas Characters” – As you consider the people surrounding the birth of Christ you begin to see the eternal messages God wanted delivered to all people.

I am really excited about these brief studies and pray that the Lord will use them in your heart and home at this special time of year. You may subscribe and listen to the episodes at enjoyingthejourney.org/broadcast, or find Enjoying The Journey on your favorite podcast player.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for praying. Thanks for passing it along to others. May you enjoy the most God-blessed Christmas ever!

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
