Day 1: Christmas In July

A NEW month.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

A NEW day.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

A NEW SECOND. 

Tick.

And now another NEW SECOND. 

Tick. Tick.

And now another NEW SECOND.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

And now another, and another.

And before you know it

this NEW DAY will come to a stop

at the 86,400 SECOND.

But the SECONDS don't stop.

They never stop.

But do you?

Are you wasting away your SECONDS by holding onto the PAST?

Are you wasting away your SECONDS by thinking about the FUTURE?

Are you wasting away your SECONDS by being paralyzed in the PRESENT,

because you are living in the PAST and the FUTURE?

Or

are you LIVING each SECOND ANEW.

with

GREAT EXPECTATION

&

with 

GREAT ANTICIPATION

&

with

GREAT JOY

because

 you are INVITING JESUS into every SECOND.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND filled with a health issue.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND filled with a financial burden.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND filled with a grieving loss.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND filled with nothing.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND that is filled with a new birth.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND that is filled with a new promotion,

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND that is filled with a celebration.

Whether the SECOND is a SECOND that is filled with a long awaited answer to prayer.

But it is your SECOND. 

No matter how you look at it,

LIFE is made up of SECONDS that keep PRESSING FORWARD.

Which means that

 LIFE is a FORWARD MOTION.

Which means we are always going FORWARD,

 even if we try to go BACK.

But let's go back for a SECOND. 

Let's REWIND the clock and go back to

CHRISTMAS, 

the LIFE CHANGING Day

when JESUS was born.

Oh what a day.

A day when JOY was birthed,

when the angels made the announcement

 “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause GREAT JOY for all the people".

(Luke 2:10)

A GREAT JOY,

because

JESUS BIRTHED

a

NEW HOPE

NEW PEACE

NEW LOVE

into all creation

by becoming

EVERLASTING JOY

that is a celebration no matter what SEASON of the year,

or SEASON in your life.

Therefore,

GET READY

&

GET SET

&

let's

GO FORWARD into

JULY with JOY, 

making

 JULY

"JOYFUL JULY "

through our

NEW 31 DALY DEVOTIONAL SERIES,

"CHRISTMAS IN JULY"~

Daily Experiencing The Birth Of Jesus in Every Day Life,

because

CHRISTMAS

 doesn't belong in a box that is only opened in DECEMBER,

because JESUS isn't in a box.

TICK. TICK. TICK.

For there is no turning back when you

 TURN to JESUS.

Oh

"JOY TO THE WORLD"
