How much will you spend on Christmas this year? According to the latest Gallup poll, the average American plans to spend $740 on gifts, down somewhat from the $801 predicted at this time a year ago.

How much would you spend to experience spiritual renewal in your life? Are you walking toward or away from God’s will today? Ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your mind any attitudes or actions which displease your Father. Write them down, specifically and honestly. Confess them to God, claiming His forgiveness and grace (I John 1:9). Throw the list away, and ask God to help you live in God’s ways.

Will you make such a spiritual inventory today?
