WOW: O Come Let Us Adore Him!

  • 1

Free printable Bible memory flashcards and handwriting practice sheets from www.flandersfamily.info

As I mentioned last week, one of the things I enjoy most about Christmas is getting to listen to beloved old carols all month long. (If you’re a fan of traditional carols, too, you may want to test your knowledge with this Christmas Carol Quiz.)

While I sometimes like to hear new Christmas songs, I never tire of listening to (and singing!) the old ones. I’d be perfectly content to keep belting those out, right on through January and on into June and July — a cappella, even.

Here’s me singing “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” That’s a small sample of what you’d be hearing all month long if you were a fly on the wall at our house. 🙂

https://www.flandersfamily.info/web/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/O-Come-All-Ye-Faithful-122315-10.08-AM.m4a

O Come, All Ye Faithful

Here are the lyrics to this beautiful old Christmas hymn, first published in 1767. Feel free to sing along:

Oh, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him
Born the king of angels:
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God
In the highest:
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given!
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing!
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord.

Whether you joined me in singing that old classic or not, I hope you’ll take this week’s “Word on Wednesday” to heart:

“Sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.” (Psalm 96:1)

As we celebrate Christmas this week and wrap up 2015 next, I pray you will carry a song with you throughout the New Year .

You must make room in your heart and life for praise and adoration.

O come, let us adore Him! That invitation doesn’t end when we take down the tree and pack away the nativity set.

Let’s strive (along with the reformed Ebenezer Scrooge) “to honor Christmas in [our] heart and try to keep it all the year.”

May God honor your efforts to hide His Word in your heart!

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to teach my kids the value of making lists, as well.  For instance, sometimes when they’ve continued to squabble or butt heads even after I’ve called them down, I’ll send them to opposite corners of the house with a list-making assignment:  ✅ “Describe 3 better ways you could’ve responded in that situation than the one you chose.”  ✅ “Write down 5 things you love and appreciate about your sister. “  ✅ “List 10 ways you could show kindness to your brother. “  With that last one, I’d follow up by telling them to choose a different idea off their list every day for the next 10 days and do it.  Gradually, over time, those kind, loving deeds became their default behavior. And as a bonus, the kids not only learned to be kind to one another, but showed similar courtesies to friends, other family members, and strangers, alike.  Want to be more loving to the people God has placed in your life? Brainstorm ways to show kindness to them. Because love is kind.  #happyvalentinesday #bekind

What does patient love look like? It takes time to What does patient love look like? It takes time to listen. It doesn’t tap its toes, drum its  fingers, check its watch, or roll its eyes.  It doesn’t act irritated or annoyed when the object of its love needs time or attention. Patient love is selfless and long suffering — just as God is with us.  As Christians, this is the kind of love God calls us to demonstrate to our spouse, our children, our neighbors, and even our enemies — a constant, unruffled love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. A love that would be quite impossible apart from the endless grace and indwelling power of God.  #goals #radicallove

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 1 Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 15:9) And what exactly does Christ’s kind of love look like?  He sums it up for us in Luke 6:27-28: “Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.”  The good news is, we don’t have to look far for an opportunity to put this command into practice. Nor must we do any of this in our own strength.  God’s empowering grace enables us to forgive offenders, to extend kindness in response to rudeness, to show mercy to the unmerciful, and to point  unbelievers to a Savor who sees them, knows them, and loves them enough to die for them.  #jesuslovesme #thisiknow #forthebibletellsmeso

After a while, the house grew noticeably quiet, so I went to investigate.  Know what I found them doing? They’d all gathered on our back porch to have an impromptu Bible study. Daniel would read a few verses out of Proverbs, then they’d pause to discuss before moving on. ❤️❤️❤️  “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” (3 John 1:4)
