Magnificent Prayer #360
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2:6–7
We remember thy love, O Jesus, as it was manifest to us in thy holy life, from the manger of Bethlehem to the garden of Gethsemane. We track thee from the cradle to the grave—for every word and deed of thine was love—and we rejoice in thy love, which death did not exhaust; thy love which shone resplendent in thy resurrection. We remember that burning fire of love which will never let thee hold thy peace until thy chosen ones be all safely housed.
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON
Pray About It: Today, think about what prayer owes to Christmas. How would prayer be different if Christ hadn’t been born in that Bethlehem stable?
Today as you sing, “O Come Let Us Adore Him,” listen to the words more closely. And truly adore Him.
Lord, through Your Holy Spirit, help me to understand so much of the victory and joy of Your coming to earth that I enjoy Christmas more than ever before.
