At Christmas we bow before the infant Jesus in the manger.
Our faith journey brings us to bow at the feet of Jesus.
There is no higher place in the world than being at His feet.
It is at Christ’s feet gazing up in awe, wonder and anticipation that we know that we know Him.
Know His loveliness.
Joy grows and abounds in us and we continue to grow in joy and peace.
This is God’s grace.
We cannot make ourselves grow.
It is only by clinging to Christ that we grow.
We grow as we are being built into the dwelling place of the Lord.
The work of the Holy Spirit within us transforming us.
“This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!”
What a gift He comes to bestow upon us!
Joy to the World our Saviour comes.
The illustration is Christ’s feet. The spectrum representative of the Holy Spirit and the Light of the World dispelling darkness by His holiness.
Six Scriptures that come to mind:
“The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”2 Peter 3:9 ESV
“But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.”2 Peter 3:13 ESV
“Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.”2 Peter 3:14 ESV
“For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”2 Corinthians 6:2 ESV
“and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.”Colossians 2:19 ESV
“This entire building is under construction and is continually growing under his supervision until it rises up completed as the holy temple of the Lord himself.”
“This means that God is transforming each one of you into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place, through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you!”
Ephesians 2:22 TPT
