Devotion – Dec 19

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I venture to guess if asked what their favorite holiday is, most people would choose Christmas. However we view the holiday, I’m sure it’s based on childhood memories. (I know there are bad memories for some, and negative emotions, but God’s love and grace cover them all.)

Mine are filled with warm fuzzies, centered around our Christmas Eve Sunday school program, the early gift of clothing received to wear for that event, singing carols, and the one-room country school festivities. Warm fuzzies indeed.

Thankfulness should also continue all year long, not just during the American holiday. Oh my soul, the knowledge He lives within me, that He lowered Himself to be born among sinful man, either brings me to tears or I burst into song.

My prayer for you is that you take to heart the phrases of adoration with every Christmas carol you sing. Merry Christmas, and to God be the glory.

Christmas in My Soul

Christmas is always with me

Jesus lives in my heart

Heaven came down

A baby brings salvation

Angels sing Gloria to the King

Shepherds follow a star

Magi journey and bow

Holy, holy, holy

Hallelujah, glory to God

Praise in song abounds

Emmanuel, God with us

Christ the Savior is born

The Light of heaven

The Living Word

Rejoice and exalt Him

Sing glorious psalms of old

Christ, the ever-living Lord

Come, let us adore Him

Jesus came to save

Christmas is in my soul.

A Stalker To Die For by Katy Eeten

A Stalker to Die For by Katy Eeten I began writing this book at least ten years ago. But as often happens, I hit a writing roadblock and put the manuscript to the side. At the time, I wasn’t sure how to make the plot more intriguing or how to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I focused my efforts on writing five different contemporary Christian novels and novellas over the past several years. But something kept drawing me back to this storyline, so I knew I had to finish it. A Stalker to Die For was my first attempt at adding suspense into the mix—and it was easier said than done! But I finally completed it. And thanks to a great editor, this book guides readers through a variety of emotions while walking the line between romance, faith, and a suspenseful thrill or two.

Son of the Mountain King by O.R.Sykora

Blurb: When an invasion threatens the land of the Mountain King, the fate of the people rests on the shoulders of young governor Judah. She has sworn to prove herself a skillful leader by protecting her kingdom from foes, but difficulty and danger surround her. Then Judah’s life is saved by two different men who divide her loyalty. One, a fascinating healer, captures the hearts of Judah and her people. The other, a mysterious shepherd, forces Judah to question what she believes to be true. When a conspiracy comes to light that could destroy Judah and her kingdom, a single choice might cost her people everything. Will the headstrong leader prove herself—or find herself trapped? Extract: This was always my favorite part. At a signal, a few young men stepped forward bearing beautifully ornamented boxes. The wood was intricately carved with mountain settings and animals, with graceful accents of gold and precious stones. The first young ma...
