Psalm 24: The Earth is the Lord's

Did any of the ghosts from Dicken's Christmas Carol visit you this year just prior to Christmas Day? Perhaps, figuratively they did if you've been chasing recreating memories from past years or seeking to avoid them this year or in the future. Instead of worrying how about entering into the ever deepening relationship that God offers.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
