Devotional
A warrior’s strength lies not only in resilience but in the discipline of gratitude. The heart that gives thanks is fortified against despair and empowered to endure. This Christmas, as we reflect on the birth of Christ, we recognize the ultimate gift from our Creator—the unwavering love that stands as a refuge in every battle.
Psalm 107:1 declares the enduring goodness of God, calling us to acknowledge His steadfast love. In the arrival of Jesus, we see this love embodied. Born in humility, Christ entered the arena of humanity to deliver a victory no earthly power could achieve. His sacrifice shattered the grip of sin and forged a path to salvation, an unbreakable stronghold for those who trust in Him.
Gratitude sharpens a warrior’s focus, reminding us that even amidst the fiercest struggles, we are upheld by the strength of our Maker. This Christmas, let your heart give thanks—not merely for blessings seen but for the eternal salvation secured through Christ. Stand firm in His unchanging love, and let your gratitude be the wellspring of your courage and resolve.
