For those needing to know their Lord is faithful, our family included, I read something this morning from Isaiah 22:22-24 "22 “Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder,
When he opens no one will shut,
When he shuts no one will open.
23 “I will drive him like a peg in a firm place,
And he will become a throne of glory to his father’s house.
24 So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, offspring and [a]issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars.
Although this is found in Isaiah it is a beautiful promise of the coming King, Jesus!! For Revelation 3:7 declares " 7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:"
The question is do we believe this? Do we believe he is able to open and close the doors that are needed and at just the right times? Are we able to believe that at even the sound of His great name the lost are saved and find their way to His cross? That all condemnation is removed? All fears are removed, sick are healed, fatherless have a Father, hope is found? All the enemy can bolster against us is nothing compared to the power of Jesus the Lamb of God! It is funny, I just heard the song from Natalie Grant "Your Great Name" yesterday afternoon...didn't realize how it would be taught to me at the very same time within a 10 hour period.

This IS the truth and promises of Christmas!! Not the "things" or the trees or the decorations, although good, they pale in comparison to the beauty of falling into the arms of our Savior and knowing he will catch us no what comes our way
