Christmas Devotion Challenge: Day 11

Click To Read Day #11 From YouVersion

20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

This particular devotion hit me like a brick.  Seriously…who hasn’t gotten caught up in the here and now?  It is so easy for us to get wrapped up into our present circumstances…whether it be good or bad.  If I am really honest though, I realize that when the noise stops and the distractions cease, I have a longing to be with Jesus.  It reminds me of the old Matt Redman song “heart of worship”. 

When the music fades, all is stripped away, and I simply come / Longing just to bring something that’s of worth that will bless your heart… / I’m coming back to the heart of worship, and it’s all about You, Jesus

This will be the song of eternity…our song for eternity.  Our focus, time, energy, and everything will be about being in the presence of Jesus.  The cool thing is, that we get to do this now.  I want to make this holiday season about Jesus…I don’t want distractions to override the fact that I get to spend an eternity in Heaven with Him.
