Keeping Christ at the Center of a Busy Season

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

December has a way of pulling us in every direction — gifts to buy, events to attend, meals to prepare, houses to decorate, and traditions to uphold. And yet, right in the middle of the noise, Jesus extends the same gentle invitation He offered over 2,000 years ago: Come. Come sit, come breathe, come remember who this season is truly about.

The truth is, we can be busy for God and still miss God. We can sing the songs, light the candles, and serve the people while our hearts quietly drift into exhaustion. But when we pause — truly pause — something shifts. The rush slows. Our hearts soften. And we find that Christ hasn’t moved; we simply need to return to the stillness where His peace lives. ANd what a difference it makes 🤍

As we walk through December, let’s refuse to let busyness rob us of the blessing. Let’s build in moments of quiet worship. Let’s practice being present. And let’s fix our attention on the One whose birth changed everything. Because if we lose eight of that, we’ve missed the mark…big time.

What is one way you’re intentionally slowing down this December? I wanna know!
