"In my heart I treasure your promise, that I may not sin against you." Psalms 119:11
Is there a sin that is not against God? If He bore all our sins on the cross then the answer is no. What do you treasure in your heart? Is it happiness or is it pleasure. The word of God produces happiness, the world gives us pleasure. The next time pleasure presents itself, think about what you are doing to God and replace pleasure with happiness by honoring God.
Dear Heavenly Father, we have so much to be thankful for, our families, our friends, the love we have for You. As we begin to prepare for the coming of the Lord, may we treasure your promise. May we seek you this Christmas season and help those we encounter realize that it is Christ we celebrate not the pleasure the world tries to give. Bring peace into our homes and our hearts by helping us be obedient to our promises. I ask this through Jesus Christ, Amen.

1 John 4:4b
