Luke 4:8  (God's Word Translation)  Yeshua answered him, "Scripture says, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him'."

Do you remember this story?   Satan had taken Jesus to a high place and tempted him by saying that if Jesus would worship him, he would give Jesus all the power and glory in all the kingdoms.   Of course, Jesus reminded Satan  that only God is worthy of our worship.  Do you remember this story?
During this time of preparation of our hearts for the coming of our Savior,  do we worship and serve only our God?   Our first immediate reaction is "of course!".   We are somewhat taken back that anyone would even question that!  Then our conscience gently nudges us to rethink our quick answer.    Opps!   Maybe I put shopping before Jesus today.   Maybe I put decorating before Jesus today.   Maybe I put busyness before Jesus today.   Maybe I forgot to put the Babe in the center of my Christmas.  Thank you, Jesus for reminding us to Worship and serve ONLY our God!
