No Matter the Challenges This Christmas Season, Remember That God Is with You
Body
“This season can be a painful reminder of who is and isn’t in the room and at the table. One who was with us last year may now be gone from this world. Another may have chosen not to join the family to celebrate Christmas. They may be in pain, and the rest of the family may be experiencing pain and confusion or dismay. Yet to those who love Him, ‘God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” ’ (Hebrews 13:5).

God Is Faithful, but Is He Consistent?
I enjoy playing vintage hymns with my concertina. It is a pleasure to hear songs that, in some cases, I haven’t sung in decades, hymns you may never have heard, like, “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning,” “The Old Fashioned Way,” and “He the Pearly Gates Will Open.”
But there is one hymn with a few lyrics that trouble me, namely, “It Is No Secret What God Can Do.” Although the premise of the hymn is fine (God’s work is renown), one statement ruins it for me: “what He’s done for others, He’ll do for you.”
