Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Surveys indicate that more than one in three began shopping before Thanksgiving. Just under 36% began between Thanksgiving and December 15; 26% will begin between December 16 and 23. Approximately 2% don’t begin until Christmas Eve or Christmas Day (yes, there are stores open on Christmas). Their holiday will be consumed with consumption.

God wants us to seek His presence with passion. He wants us to run after the Christ of Christmas harder than we run after a gift for Christmas.

Have you sought an audience with Jesus yet today?
