Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
A Quiet Place
Stillness is an essential part of our growing deeper—especially as we grow older.
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
At that moment, he grasped the true meaning of Christmas. A man becoming a bird is nothing to be compared to God’s becoming a man. This was what the Saviour did—He came to rescue the farmer himself and all humanity from the cold of sin.
Bring Him Incense, Gold, and Myrrh
The King received the gold. Our Intercessor took the frankincense. And the One who died on the cross had myrrh wrapped about His body by His friends. The magi’s gifts to Jesus pointed to the utterly unique, glorious, and sacrificial ministry of the Lord Jesus.
Hail the Incarnate Deity
God the Son lowered Himself. He took on the flesh of an infant. He died a humiliating death. As a result, God the Father “highly exalted Him.”
The Wonder of It All
Mary’s little Lamb was destined for sacrifice. But tonight she held her baby close, kissed His soft cheek...and wept quietly in the wonder of it all.
Sovereign Father, Heavenly King
While Rome was busy making history, God arrived. The world didn’t even notice. Reeling from the wake of Alexander the Great...Herod the Great...and Augustus the Great, the world overlooked Jesus the baby.
The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came
Angels are at work today as well, relentlessly busy doing God’s bidding in the unseen world around us. If our eyes could be opened to see the angelic forces, we would be overwhelmed!
Get Involved
As for Samuel, the boy who heard God's voice, the closing words of this episode tell us that the sleepy, spiritual indifference that had lulled Israel into complacency was about to come to a screeching halt. A man of action was on the scene, and Israel's spiritual drift was about to end. Even as a little boy, he not only heard the Lord, but he obeyed His voice.
Faith Reveals God
Nine months before that wondrous night in Bethlehem, the Father sent His Son. Christ willingly left His seat of absolute power in heaven, set aside the voluntary use of His divine authority, and became a helpless infant. As a human, subject to all the pains and sorrows and limitations that affect us all, He would mature, learn, minister, suffer...and die. If the Father was willing to release His own Son to us, what could be so much more precious to us that we would withhold it from Him?
