Names of God: Through Thanksgiving & Christmas

DAY 12 OF 30

Jesus prepares to depart and yet is reassuring those who will remain that His work will continue on earth. He has witnessed human characteristics, emotions, and flaws, so He knows the predominant response will be fear: fear of being left alone and fear of not being able to complete God's mission on earth. Therefore, Jesus leaves the gifts of the Holy Spirit and of His peace. Throughout this passage, Jesus reassures us with His very Word of the certainty of God's permanent presence with us and in us, as well as the peace that comes from knowing that He will be seated in heaven next to God praying for us. 

Will you truly believe that God is with you? Will you fight through the occasional overwhelming feelings of loneliness and worldly chaos while clinging to the knowledge of the Lord's promises? Do you leave peace and the presence of God as gifts to the people that you encounter?  

Father God, You are a promise keeper. Help me to trust in You and Your promises above all else. Thank You for imparting Your Holy Spirit. I can't live this life on earth without Him. Lord, when I feel unable to do what You have called me to do, remind me that I have God in me and that He will do what I am incapable of doing. He will do what I am unwilling to do. He will endure when I’m overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy.  Teach me how to yield in obedience and rest in His gift of peace. In Jesus' name. Amen.

About this Plan

Names of God: Through Thanksgiving & Christmas

What’s in a name? The many beautiful names of God reveal something about who he is and why he functions the way he does. Names of God – specifically written to help us focus on our Lord during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons – walks us through the study of six of the names God has given himself. Time is spent looking at the truths these names reveal about God, and how this knowledge should practically impact our everyday decisions, emotions, and relationships. “For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?” ~ J.I. Packer. Come join us as we get to know God more fully and spend time adoring him for who he is. God shows himself to us through his names because of his great love for us. We, in turn, have the privilege of loving, worshipping and resting in Him on an even deeper level during this reflective time of year. Journal with us as we go through this study for the next six weeks…reading and writing what God speaks into our hearts.
