Twenty Five Days of Christmas DevotionsSample

The biggest threat that we need to be saved from is ourselves. Far greater than adverse people and circumstances that we face each day are the desires of our fallen nature that wage war against our souls. Our negative thoughts, our brittle emotions, and our selfish attitude that flow from an evil heart play a major role in causing us to live far below our God-given potential. We may blame others for our predicament, but if we look sincerely into our hearts, we will realize the big role we have played in making life miserable for ourselves.

Jesus came to save us from ourselves. He came to set us free from the clutches of our deceptive hearts. Freedom can never truly be experienced in our self-assertion for we are our own worst enemy. But the one who has surrendered himself completely to the will of the Saviour will experience the abundant life that He promises.
