I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:11, ESV
God’s Law is based on His character, who He is. When we truly take in His Word by the power of the Holy Spirit, it will change our character, our inner-selves, to be more like our holy and righteous God.
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
James 1:25, ESV
God’s Law is not a set of arbitrary rules but based on His character, so He came as one of us to perfectly obey.
Now He helps us by His Holy Spirit to love in Christ’s obedience when we believe in His death and resurrection.
This is a heartfelt and heart-wrenching view of grief at the holidays that I think many could find encouragement and even the beginnings of healing from.
Let us pray for all grieving at this time (whenever you read this or it comes to mind!)

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11, ESV
God has planned every day of history, and He has planned on our full redemption. He has come and is coming again, and we all have a desire for eternal life.
Seek God now, and find eternal life in Christ.
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:29, ESV
Our God became one of us to show His power, lifting up we who were powerless on our sin into His righteousness. He invites us to walk with Him in faithfulness.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10, ESV
God became one of us to redeem people from sin and death, known as His Church. Let us likewise live sacrificially in love for others, especially to each other in the Church.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26, ESV
Because God became one of us and has risen to glory, we know He can help us in all things and gives us hope for eternity.
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
Proverbs 19:17, ESV
Just as our Lord became a poor human to save humanity from sin with His generous love and grace, we show His love and grace to others when we help those in need. We are serving Him as He serves through us, and we will draw others to join us as co-heirs of eternal life with Christ.
“And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21, LSB
God’s power was on display, even as He became a baby. His very name showed Hos power, as this baby would grow up and take away the sins of all who believe in Him.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11, ESV
Our God has come to us. He became a weak baby to demonstrate His omnipotence over death and sin as well as life. Trust in and worship Him.
