Sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away? Christmas is a time for shaking off the sloth and guilty fears of yesterday's sins. Christ has come in the flesh to seek and to save that which was lost.
Too often, in this season do I get caught up in the entanglement of covetousness. I get caught up in where I am not and what I haven't gotten yet. Christ's birth reminds me to shake those earthly thoughts off of myself. Get into the scripture's version of the Christmas story and receive the Gold and Frankenscence and Myrrh that God has travelled from beyond our sins to deposit into us, His redeemed people. We would have alot of stuff, but no access to God through Christ, had the first Christmas not happened. God had a plan for our redemption. Beyond our wildest dreams that God would travel from the throne of Glory to grant us the gift of communion with Himself. Do throw cares away! Your sins which are many have been sent to the deepest farthest part away from God, when repented of. Glory to God in the Highest should be our song this season, it belongs to us. The angels only know a part of the story to have sung that song. We who are already redeemed should be singing to His glory!
