A Seasonal Devotion

     I came across this wonderful verse in my devotional reading this morning. It summarizes my life.

     For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth (Psalm 70:5).

     I received the Lord Jesus as my personal savior when I was 10 years old. It was through the ministry of my Sunday School teacher, and now more than 6 decades later Jesus remains my hope and my trust. I was a youth and now I’m much older, and the relationship of faith is stronger and better, and my life has been greatly blessed. In the spirit of the Christmas season soon to be upon us I can say, “With faith in Him life is really a wonderful life.”

     I recommend Him to you. God sent His Son Jesus to be God with us, the Savior, who saves us from our sins. The Holy Spirit blesses our living, and guides us in God’s way through the teaching of the Bible.

     This is the happiest way to live life. It is the most comforting way. It is the most joyous way.

     However young you are, I ask you to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and find out how good life can be.

     And, let me be one of the first to say to you, Merry Christmas 2017.
