This year as we enter the Advent season, I’ve been reflecting on our spiritual theme, BE STILL, and how this so beautifully connects to Christmas. As we know, there can be pressure for us at Christmastime to buy more, do more, and celebrate bigger and better... but Jesus calls us to simply come and behold; to BE STILL; to adore and worship Him.
One of my favorite Christmas songs is “Little Drummer Boy,” which is a story of how a young child had nothing of value to bring to the newborn King, but he realized he could simply offer to play a song on his drum to worship Jesus. As this song so beautifully illustrates, it is a heart of worship and adoration that truly pleases the Lord.
This Christmas, rather than working into a busy frenzy around the holiday, let’s take the time to BE STILL in the Lord’s presence and bring Him all we have to offer—our worship. This is the best gift we can bring to the King!
