The Kid: An Advent Devotional for High SchoolersMuestra

Isn’t it fun to see little kids experience Christmas? To kids, Christmas is magical. As we get older, we start to grow out of the magic that comes with the season. Instead, we realize how quickly time is passing! One minute, we take down the ornaments, and the next, we wrap lights around the Christmas tree again. The realization of just how quickly things change can feel scary, huh? The good news is that we can find comfort in the season's spirit.

The story of Jesus' birth reminds us that while everything around us may be changing, God never does. In a fast-paced and uncertain world, the message of Christmas gives us hope and strength. The birth of Jesus shows us that God's promises remain. And not just that, they never fail. That, my friends, is the real magic of Christmas!

Today, take a moment to pray that, through the busyness of life, the amount of change, and the highs and lows you’re facing this Christmas season, you will find peace in God’s steady and never-changing presence and promises.
