The Ever Present Christmas Grinch Dr. Seuss’ Christmas story, Although fiction, makes some points It points to a thief who’s always Stealing what the Christ anoints. Actually, he steals from Christians Mature and settled in The Word.
It’s a never ending battle And it always has occurred. From the moment of redemption We’ve been saddled with two minds… One is sowing to the Spirit… One dwells on flesh induced designs. One occupies the upper room While the other’s in the basement Watching war between them rage Requires a spiritual encasement We are at odds within ourselves Our flesh is trained to rule us But Almighty God sent us His Son And His Spirit’s meant to school us We should not be dominated Or controlled by sinful natures Temptation tends to smell so sweet But death lives in its vapors O, yes, Satan can steal Christmas! He’s a Grinch of the worst species! Yet every time we catch him His unlawful hold decreases! God does require he must restore A sevenfold replacement. At times like these our upper room Completely locks our basement. Let’s return to Christmas joys!! Let the birth of Christ refresh us! Trade thoughts about the growling Grinch For the thought that God will bless us. Doris Jacobs-Covington Christmas 2012 ~~Dedicated to Dawn & Sherry~ John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. Romans 6:8 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Proverbs 6:30-31 People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving. Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his home. |
