Today is the day after Christmas and like the shepherds and wisemen, you and I have the opportunity to travel to our places of worship and celebrate the birth of our newborn king! I can think of no better place to be! How about you?

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.” Psalms‬ ‭84:10-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

On this Spiritual Sunday, as we wind down 2021, I encourage you to begin to reflect on your spiritual growth. Have you grown closer to Christ this year? Are you taking steps to continually grow? What daily practices do you have in place? Are you excited to go to worship this morning?

As you reflect this morning, I pray God will lay upon your heart a burning desire to grow even closer to Your Savior and to trust in the Lord Almighty for your next steps in your spiritual growth journey. After all,

“Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.” Psalms‬ ‭84:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬
