It is easy to get overwhelmed and consumed with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. However, if we are not careful, we may miss out on the blessing that this time of year is meant to provide. The Christmas story does not begin with the birth of Jesus just like the month of December does not begin with Christmas. We must take a journey to get to the blessed moment of our Savior’s birth, a journey that God intends to use to lead us into his promises. Before we can receive the fulfillment of promises, we must prepare our hearts to receive our king!
