Is your Christmas season unfolding in the familiar patterns of the past? Are you ready to break free from tradition, fear, pressure, and competition that accompany this time of year?

As we step into the month of December, it's easy to let the holiday rush sweep us away like a boat drifting aimlessly in the ocean. However, Ephesians 5:15-16 encourages us to be intentional and wise with our time. "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil."

As we immerse ourselves in the holiday season, let's consider the impact of our spending, the value of our time, and the direction of our energy. Being intentional with these resources allows us to invest in meaningful experiences, relationships, and moments that align with our purpose and bring joy to those around us.

Moreover, designing our December provides hope for the holidays. By intentionally shaping our celebrations, we create an environment that fosters genuine connection and a deeper appreciation for the true spirit of Christmas.

Prayer

Lord, guide me in designing my December with purpose. Help me to approach this season with wisdom, making choices that align with Your will. May I navigate the festivities, gatherings, and moments with intentionality, bringing glory to Your name in all that I do. Heavenly Father, grant me discernment in how I allocate my resources during this December season. Help me be mindful of the impact of my spending, the value of my time, and the direction of my energy. May each choice reflect Your wisdom and contribute to the purposeful design of this season. Amen.
