Leads...

Santa has a red-nosed reindeer that leads Santa's sleigh around the world on Christmas Eve.


JEHOVAH ROI, Hebrew for 'The Lord is my Shepherd' leads us beside quiet waters, in paths of righteousness, thru the valley of the shadow of death, to springs of living water...' (Ps. 23)

He 'carries us close to His heart....(Isaiah 40)

I pray you are a sheep of His pasture.

Peace....

At Christmas time, I like to read 'The Night Before Christmas' to my grand-daughters. The book is put on our coffee table at Christmas, and is read often before it disappears after Christmas is over.

"I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!'.

Our God is JEHOVAH SHALOM, Hebrew for 'The Lord Is Peace.'

He gives much more than a good night, He brings 'the peace of God that transcends all understanding'. Philippians 4:6-7

I pray you know His peace. Not just during the Christmas season, but every moment of every day.

Banner...

There are many things that symbolize the Christmas season to us. Trees, holly, mistletoe, lights.

YAHWEH NISSI is Hebrew for 'The Lord is my Banner'.

At Christmas time, I want my banner to be the nativity, the birth of that YAHWEH TSEBAOTH Who came in Person just for me. And you.


The Lord is my Banner, Exodus 17

Workshop....

Santa has elves to help in his workshop..they make things and carry out Santa's plans to deliver them.

God is YAHWEH TSEBAOTH, Hebrew for 'The Lord of Hosts.'

His workshop is the universe.

He has every single thing, both material and spiritual, at His disposal.

His angelic helpers far outnumber Santa's elves, according to the prophet Elisha. "Those who are with us are more than those with them" (2 Kings 6:16)

This Lord of hosts came in Person.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.' (Isaiah 9:6-7)

Hallelujah

Provide...

We give Santa a list of what to provide under our tree.

God is JEHOVAH JIREH, Hebrew for 'The Lord provides'.

Matthew 6:32 tells us that our God knows what we need even before we do...and verse 30 tells us that if God takes care of the fields, He will surely take care of us !

Our... problem is we get 'needs' and 'greeds' mixed up !!

What is on your list this year?

Everywhere...

Santa can visit every house on planet earth in one night.

God is omnipresent. He is in every place at all times. He does not come to visit a believer, He comes to remain.

God is YAHWEH SHAMMAH...Hebrew for 'The Lord is there'.

And yes, He is real.

Sees...

We sing a song this time of year..."He sees you when you're sleeping...."

Santa sees if you're sleeping and he knows if you're awake.


Well, God is not a Santa. He does, however, see.

He is El Roi....Hebrew for 'the God who sees me."

Psalm 33 tells us that He looks down from heaven to see all humankind. He observes all our deeds.

You think Santa is watching? I can assure you that our God is....

"The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping ...watch on the wicked and the good." Proverbs 15:3
