We most often want God to be glorified by giving us strength to compensate for our weaknesses, instead of leaving us in them. Maybe it’s because we’re too focused on achieving, but maybe it’s just because we’re too focused on ourselves, and how we think our lives should look. It is our sinful pride that leads us to think that we have a better idea of what our part in God’s kingdom should look like than God’s idea. He will accomplish His purposes according to His perfect wisdom, and generally chooses to use willing and weak people rather than the strong, important ones.

The Christmas season has a way of exposing things in our hearts that may have been hidden. The extra stresses, expenses, expectations, and longings that arise during this season are unlike any other time of the year. How can our hearts be hopeful, joyful, and peaceful?

As followers of Christ, we can take joy in the fact that nothing we do ultimately defines our life. Our life is defined by Christ and that definition cannot shift or change because we are hidden in Christ!
