Countdown to Christmas 2012 - Day 7
Today, as we count down the hours to the weekend, Psalm 36:6-8 reminds us that God's goodness is enough and all of the "stuff" really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Add some holiday cheer to your day with the Countdown to Christmas. Each day features a Christmas carol, gift ideas, a Bible verse and devotional, a recipe to try and the holiday TV schedule for the day. There are even extra goodies thrown in here and there!
Merry Christmas (or, as they say in Germany, Frohe Weihnachten!)
Psalm 36:6-8 (ERV)
Why do you suppose we have such a hard time being like David? Why can't we be satisfied with the blessings that God has given us instead of always wanting more and more material things?

Bible Verse of the Day
Psalm 36:6-8 (ERV)
- 6 Your goodness is higher than the highest mountains. Your fairness is deeper than the deepest ocean. Lord, you protect people and animals. 7 Nothing is more precious than your loving kindness. All people can find protection close to you. 8 They get strength from all the good things in your house. You let them drink from your wonderful river.
Why do you suppose we have such a hard time being like David? Why can't we be satisfied with the blessings that God has given us instead of always wanting more and more material things?
