Today’s Devotional
I humbly declare I am not proud; never have been.
Father, we know that to be like Jesus is our goal and we also know that our lower nature, our flesh, often causes us to act more like a goof ball than a saint. Give us the humility we pray to allow You to overcome that which is present in all of us. You promised to do so if we but ask.

Core Value 06: I Am So Proud Of You!
Have you ever said, to someone you love, “I am so proud of you”! Of course you have and when you said those words, you generally meant that your heart was full of joy for that person. Your pride in who they are and what they have accomplished is a natural and loving response. Can you think of a time in which you would be “proud” of an enemy, someone you did not like and who probably doesn’t like you?

The Birth of Jesus and John
LUKE 1:1-80
1 Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us,
2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,
3 it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus,
4 that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.
