Advent Devotion - Day 19

DECEMBER 19 – Luke 2: 6-7

By: Rob Coble

Such humble beginnings for the Son of God. In the age of entitlement we live in today humility is not
often on display. Who amongst us today, given the same ability to raise the dead and perform miracles would choose to do selfless good works instead of using these gifts for their own personal gain? I have heard humility described not as thinking less of yourself but as thinking of your self less. I am thankful for the examples of humility Christ set forth not only in birth but throughout his time on earth.

Prayer 
Dear Lord, help me to remember your will not mine be done. Remove from me the bondage of self that I may do your good works and be of help to my fellow man. Amen

Family Moment
A King being born in a stable? Why is it important to know that God came into the world in a stable? God gave Jesus to us, to everyone. Draw a picture and include all the creatures you see in God’s Kingdom.
