We're supposed to apply Jesus's teachings to our own lives. What about the parts of our lives that relate to politics?
Our spiritual life changes gradually. Not all at once. Are we heading in the right direction? How can we be spiritually reborn? It's a process. (See 2 Peter 1:5, and many other places in the Word.)
Stuck? Becalmed? Well... it happens. But you can probably do something to get yourself ready to receive what the Lord wants to give to you.
If we can be like Simeon -- loving to see truth, and Anna, loving to be good -- we will be ready, and listening, and willing to be moved by the spirit, and we will see the Lord born in our lives.
You might not have noticed this: Jesus began his ministry with a prayer. We can start a New Year the same way!
As the Christmas season winds down, we often have mixed emotions - some gratitude, some sadness, perhaps a little wistfulness, a blend of inspired, happy memories and much food for thought.
