Like the song goes in Home Alone 2, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Among the many holidays that exist around the world, the Christmas Holiday tends to come with a little extra on the top that makes it stand out from the rest. And why shouldn’t it? It marks the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of this world! His birth was a miracle in every sense of the word. Starting from a one-of-a-kind conception (Luke 1:26-38) to a one-of-a-kind delivery (Luke 2:1-7) that was marked with a heavenly choir! After the many prophecies about the birth of a King whose reign will never end (Is. 9:6-7), it was only right that there would be fanfare around His birth. This birth marked the first ever Christmas Miracle known to man.
The
year 2020 has been a year with more lows than highs for a lot of people but
despite the topsy-turvy nature of the year, it has also been filled with
miracles! In the history of medicine, the Covid-19 vaccine is the fastest
developed vaccine the world has ever had. In second place is the mumps vaccine
that was developed in 4 years. The development of a vaccine within the space of
one year is a miracle in and of itself! On a personal note, my Christmas
Miracle is the fact that as someone that lives in a developing country that has
almost no public health infrastructure, it has indeed been a miracle that till
date, none of my family members have been infected by this virus. Also, many
babies were born this year to people in my circle and to His glory, they are
all doing well. Finally, after almost 3 – 4 months of dealing with De
Quervain's tenosynovitis, I have been fully healed. When I think about these
things, I am grateful to God for my Christmas Miracle and I know more are on
the way.
2020
has been tough, yes I know. But you know something else? Your Christmas Miracle
has arrived! The charge I leave with you is simple: Keep the Faith! (just like
Mary and Simeon (Luke 2:25-35) did). And when it manifests, remember to give
God thanks.
I’d love to hear about your Christmas Miracle, please share them via the comments section.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone and remember, Jesus is the reason for the season.
P.S. I
live you with these Declarations for Everyday Living
