Isaiah 35:3-4

Christmas points us not only to our promised Savior in a manger but to the eternal joy of heaven that we receive through faith in Christ. The darkness of our days is behind us. Jesus the Light came, and our brightest days are ahead. 

In their day-to-day life, many Christians struggle with discouragement, disillusionment, or even depression. Sadly, some believers are afraid to be open with others about such emotional battles. This devotional explains how the biblical heroes handled the times of emotional turmoil that they went through. It also tells the believers how to overcome their internal struggles with the help of the Word of God and their church family.

The word “BEHOLD” in Hebrew simply means interjection (an exclamation, an interruption). It is an unapologetic shout, saying, “LOOK HERE! SEE NOW! The promise is coming to pass!”. Our desire is to stir up faith in women that they would remember the promise, or see the new promise, and perceive it coming to pass. Written by Ps Megan Halvorsen.

Mark 1:40-45 shows us how, through the gospel, Christ touches us with His salvation to heal us of our spiritual sickness of sin, and He ends our spiritual separation from God.
