Surrender – A 2MefromGod Devotional

Surrender is a word that normally symbolizes defeat, but this is not always true. We all have times when it seems we cannot take one more disappointment, one more heartache, one more rejection. It is in those times that surrender to God can bring peace and allow us to move forward in faith.

Christmas Hope

Posted by on Dec 25, 2012 | Comments Off on Christmas Hope

 
Long ago,
In a stable dark,
A little babe was born,
And hope came to
This darkened world
That blessed Christmas morn.
From Adam’s time
The curse came down,
And all creation groaned.
A God-shaped void
In all men’s hearts
And for his soul__ no home.
Through Adam’s choice,
God ordained a time
That Satan’s wiles would rule…
To allow for man
Himself, to see
Satan’s scheme as dark and cruel.
Through sin, man’s heart
Was altered,
He could not see his pain
As coming from
His own wrong choice…
On God, he placed the blame.
God promised,
The day He gave the curse
That He someday would redeem…
His word proclaimed
His creation to save
Through the birth of His Son–the King.
Down through the ages
Man went his way
Though God’s word was strong and clear…
His grace extended
To all who chose
In His power and name to fear.
Then one night in a stable,
Dark and dirty
As heart’s full of sin…
A tiny child
Was born to a world
That offered no more room than the inn.
The angels sang…
The shepherds kneeled…
The wisemen traveled far…
All to see a child
Whose destiny
Was a Cross of pain and scars.
And today,
Men still are puzzled…
“Why would I a Savior need?”
Their hearts are dark…
Their minds are dim…
They were weaned on Satan’s creed.
In the quiet
Of a thoughtful moment,
When, unwilling,
We admit our need—
We know the relationship’s broken,
His offer
We know we must heed.
His return is quickly approaching—
Long prophesied
More than His birth—
The Hope of the Ages—
To a world forlorn—
He is God—His judgment is sure.
The Savior,
To know all our trials,
As a baby, chose to be born…
So come on your knees to the stable—
To the hope
Of that first Christmas morn!
