He Provides a Way Home
How quickly the years pass. As we now find ourselves on the doorstep of 2025, we are brought a step closer to the coming of the Lord. Years ago, at a time of great revival and spiritual devotion, King David wanted to build God a house in thanksgiving for all He had done for him and the nation. Hearing of it, the prophet Nathan initially encouraged David but was told that night by the Lord that David could not be allowed to build it, being a man of war. Yet the prophet was also given glorious news for David as well: “You shall not build for Me, but here is what I am planning to do for you.” God then reviewed David’s humble beginnings, spoke of his current place as king, and promised him a future that included the Messiah coming forth through his lineage. It wiped King David out, and he quickly went to sit before the Lord, proclaiming: “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?” (1 Chr. 17:16).
This Christmas season, we, too, can look back with awe and amazement at God’s continuing work through Morningstar. The growth God has brought, the lives that continue to be changed, the mission fields far and near filled with laborers, and an ever-growing world outreach by way of our daily podcasts.
Thank You, Jesus, for coming to save us and offering life to all who call upon Your name. May our message this Christmas overflow with the love for our Savior, and may His goodness leave us bowing in awe and love before Him.
Jesus has come to make a way home for us!
