Sabbath Rest for December

As we prepare to celebrate Jesus …

“For to us a child is born,
To us a Son is given,
And the government will be on His shoulders.
And He will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of His government and peace there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne and over His Kingdom establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.  The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.”  Isaiah 9:6-7

Let us all certainly celebrate the grace, mercy and love of our Savior.

It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of the season and lose sight that there are many who are facing daily horror as we sing carols, exchange gifts, enjoy friends and family.  Enjoy the season, but please my brothers and sisters in Christ, lift up to our merciful Almighty God…

Those shackled in sex trafficking
Those who, this moment, are vulnerable to temptation
Those who perpetuate this evil and
Those who are called to step up to take on this fight.

In the stillness of the mornings and nights and all throughout the day as you prepare for Jesus, lift your precious prayers to our God for “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16

We at beLydia are so very thankful and humbled by the faithfulness of you whose hearts are moved to intercede for those you do not know.

Merry Christmas knowing “The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; His eyes examine them.” Psalm 11:4

In His Faithful Hands
His servant
