2 Samuel 12:5-23
Brokenness
As we get older we can see the importance, if not the urgency, to savor every moment that we have been given by the Lord. The Christmas season brings a heightened awareness of this reality. In a season where we are going to find ourselves in lots of rooms and around lots of table...some we are excited about and some that we aren't so excited about...let us stop and ask what kind of presence we bring. As believers may we feel the calling and the delight to bring the Lord's presence to those we will be around. He has ordained those specific moments and individuals. In this series we will look at four traits of those who seemingly walk in a nearness to the Lord and so bless those in their company.

PRAYER
To you, Father, who is able to strengthen your children (us) for our God given mission through the gospel of the Son, Jesus, that is preached and taught in and through the church of the Lord Jesus that we call home, Alamo Ranch Community Church...everyday! Thank you, Father, for the revelation of the mystery of the gospel that was kept secret through long ages, but has now been disclosed to people from every nation through the prophetic writings of your Word and the bold witnesses of the Savior, Jesus, in pulpits, in houses, in coffee shops, in hospital rooms, in school classrooms, in work places, in neighborhoods and in every place you have your ambassadors. Praise your name, Father, the only wise God, known in three persons, as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit…to receive glory forever more through Christ and his church…may we live exciting and determined lives with you and learn to love you more in the days to come…in Jesus name, amen and amen!!!
