As I was reading in the following scripture of people who trusted God, but when He wasn't answering them quick enough they decided to take matters into their own hands. Genesis 16:1-2, 12, Genesis 27:9,37 Hebrews 10:36 Teaches us to have patience and faith in our Lord. I learned from my lesson in The Woman Who Pleases God, (which is where these scriptures came from) that God doesn't always answer our prayers right away. He wants us to keep praying and grow in our faith. What a wonderful time to grow in the Lord, He is our reason for living, He is "the way, life, and truth." from John 14:6 (my favorite bible verse)! Have faith in Him and turn to Him for all of your needs, He is our provider, deliever, Savior...and so much more! Santa VS Jesus santa lives at the north pole ... jesus is everywhere. santa rides in a sleigh ... jesus rides on the wind and walks on the water. santa comes but once a year ... jesus is an ever present help. santa fills your stockings with goodies ... jesus supplies all your needs. santa comes down your chimney uninvited ... jesus stands at your door and knocks, and then enters your heart when invited. you have to wait in line to see santa ... jesus is as close as the mention of his name. santa lets you sit on his lap ... jesus lets you rest in his arms. santa doesn't know your name; all he can say is, "hi little boy or girl, what's your name?" ... jesus knew our name before we did; not only does he know our name, he knows our address too. he knows our history and future and he even knows how many hairs are on our heads. santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly ... jesus has a heart full of love. all santa can offer is ho ho ho! jesus offers health, help and hope. santa says "you better not cry" ... jesus says "cast all your cares on me for i care for you." santa's little helpers make toys ... jesus makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions. santa may make you chuckle but ... jesus gives you joy that is your strength. while santa puts gifts under your tree ... jesus became our gift and died on a tree. ~author unknown~ This really tells the true meaning of Christmas, and we should look to Him all year round, not only in the Holiday season.
