Merry Christmas!

“And the angel said to them, ‘fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11 ESV

Hello Friends! It’s a brand-new day, full of all kinds of possibilities!

From out of the Belly Podcast, I would like to wish you and your family A Very Merry Christmas. Jesus came into this world, because God loved us. No one could do what he did for you and me. He was born to die for the sins of the world. Jesus is the true gift to humanity. He is the real reason for the season.

Remember friends we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.

See you in the new year, 2026 here we come!

You Got Something to Smile About

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart;

    good news makes for good health. Proverbs 15:30 NLT

The phrase “you got something to smile about” isn’t a direct quote from the Bible, but its meaning aligns with the extensive biblical concept of joy in the Lord, which is an inner peace and contentment rooted in faith, not in circumstances. A smile is seen as an outward expression of a “joyful heart” or “merry heart,” which the Bible describes as a form of medicine for the spirit.

Having something to “smile” about, even in the midst of trials, reflects a deep trust that God is in control and working all things for our good. A smile can be a powerful testimony of God’s love and peace in a believer’s life, inviting others to ask about the source of their hope. A smile is a powerful thing.

This Christmas Season we have a lot to smile about. I wanna start by thanking God for Jesus Christ, who is my personal savior. I’m blessed to have a loving family and dear friends. I am blessed to use my gifts to inspire, encourage and remind not only others, but myself that our greatest weapon is God’s Word. I am grateful for a job that gives me an opportunity to help students start building their foundations through education and training.

My prayer for you this Christmas is love, joy, peace, and hope. I ask God to bless you, your friends and your families. Let the love of God be a light that shines for the whole world to see.

Twelve

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 NKJV

🎶 On the first through the twelve days of Christmas my true love gave to me: a Partridge in a Pear Tree, Two Turtle Doves, Three French Hens, Four Calling Birds, Five Gold Rings, Six Geese a-Laying, Seven Swans a-Swimming, Eight Maids a-Milking, Nine Ladies Dancing, Ten Lords a-Leaping, Eleven Pipers Piping, and Twelve Drummers Drumming! 🎶 Did you know that this English Christmas carol and nursery rhymes was published in London around 1780.

In the Bible, the number 12 symbolizes divine perfection, completeness, and God’s governmental authority. Where do we see twelve in the scripture: The 12 Tribes of Israel which represents the whole nation. Jesus chose 12 apostles. Remember that woman who had an issue with blood for 12 years. Jesus mentioned He could call on more than twelve legions of angels, emphasizing His divine power. How about in the book of Revelations, New Jerusalem the city has 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 foundations, and 12 pearls, and the tree of life that Bears 12 kinds of fruit and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nation.

Christmas to me is about giving thanks to God, who loved us so that he sent Jesus into the world. He came here to die for the sins of the world. He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Christmas isn’t just about caroling, gifts, decorating, and holiday meals. Jesus Christ is the real reason for the season.

Follow That Star

“Saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east and are come to worship him. “ Matthew 2:2 KJV

Welcome to the Christmas season friends. I’ve already put up all four of my trees. They aren’t the standard sizes; they are all small enough to go on tabletops. Then I put out all my Santa Clauses and a Christmas reef for my door. My decorating took about 35 minutes.

To understand the significance the passage I chose today we must go back in time more than a thousand years before the birth of Jesus. During the time of exodus, there was a ruler of Moab named Balak. Balak and the Moabites began to feel the threat of the people of Israel so much that they wanted a curse to put on them. In the end there was no curse only blessings.

 This included a prediction that a star shall come forth from Jacob, and a scepter would rise from Israel. Let me break this down; Jacob is a patriarch of the Israelites, and his descendants are called the people of Israel. The prophecy is tied to the future king of this specific lineage. The scepter is a symbol of royal power and authority, and its rising signifies a new king and a new dynasty.

From three different nations, the wise men journeyed west to find the prophesied King. They saw His star in the east, and they came to the house where Mary, Joseph and Jesus were. They presented their gifts to baby Jesus and began to worship Him. Can you imagine what they must have all felt inside as they gazed upon baby Jesus. They saw with their own eyes, the savior of the World.  Before them was the One and true King of the Jews and the fulfillment of the prophecy.

The arrival of wise men from the East is also a pivotal moment showing the global purpose of God. Jesus came here for all of us. Why did He do this for us? He did it because he loves us.

John 3:16-17 say it this way,

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
