My wife, my daughter and I were out Christmas shopping yesterday afternoon. All the Malls have beautiful Christmas decorations. There is a hive of activity in the shops. The cash registers are ringing and everyone is buzzing.
As we looked around, we were flabbergasted at the cost of the products on offer. Toys are ridiculously expensive. Retailers are reaping the profits on material goods that will probably be lost, broken or abandoned in a few short months.
The very first Christmas had prophets! Nowadays Christmas is all about profits! I’m not saying “don’t go shopping” or “don’t spend your own money” What I am saying is that beside all the gifts under your tree this year, leave a space for the gift that God gives to us all.
Be a prophet for our time and prepare in your heart and your home a space for the Lord. That’s the only profit worth benefiting from.
