Advent in your inbox

From 1st December: one verse, a short reflection and a prayer every morning through Advent. Stay on after Christmas if you like. Free.

Explanation

To "Think" in Greek is "Logizomai" (λογίζομαι), where we get the word 'logic'. It means to reckon, calculate, or take a mental inventory.

Inspiration

Something distracting you today? What's on your mind? We can list problems as long as our arms, but does it do us much good?

Application for Today

  • We are encouraged to list noble things over problems. Take stock and remind yourself of all the good things God has given you.

Prayer

Father God, I thank you that I have thousands of things to be grateful for. You have blessed me, may I be forever thankful. In Jesus' name, Amen.
