WITH : A 10-Day Christmas Bible PlanSample

THE LORD IS COME! MAKE YOUR BED!

You are not alone. Immanuel.

One way that God is with us and works through us is when we take courageous baby steps in the direction He wants us to go. We can learn from Navy Seals in that the first thing they do every morning is make their bed. No matter how difficult the day was, no matter what they faced, at least they return home to a bed that is made.

They return home to stability. Consistency. A firm foundation.

And that’s what we can do in Christ.

We make our bed. We do what God calls us to do. We return to Him over and over.

Shame and inactivity make our world very small. But the grace of God doesn’t give us permission for inactivity. Rather, it empowers us to take God-honoring action that will lead us closer to Him.

Our goal in life is not to avoid shame. The aim of this journey isn’t merely to feel better, but to actually get better. It’s to become a different kind of person entirely. It’s to learn, to discover where there’s sin, to refine, to apologize, to own, to repeat. To worship.

God is with us. God protects us, He guides us, and He loves us.

Today, take action. Make your bed. Send that email, make that call, clean that desk. Do that thing you’ve been avoiding. Build that habit. Do it as you remember God this Christmas season.

We hope today's video reminds you that you and Jesus get to work together, hand-in-hand. You’re walking in step with Him. Immanuel.
