Finding Meaning in Holidays: Preparing for 2021 with David Burnett
Thanksgiving Day teaches us to allow a spirit of thanksgiving to prepare us. Let it be done unto me, according to your word. Don't look back and think of yourself as a survivor.
As the year winds down, many of us are left wondering what the future holds. David Burnett, in this episode of God's Family Plan podcast, offers a thoughtful guide on how to gear up for 2021. Reflecting on the twists and turns of 2020, Burnett delves into the deeper significance of the holiday season, stretching from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
He discusses how these holidays have often lost their spiritual essence and become overly commercialized, urging listeners to reclaim their true meaning. Drawing from biblical narratives, such as the story of Balaam and his talking donkey from Numbers 22, Burnett emphasizes that God can use even the most ordinary things to provide guidance. He encourages us to let a spirit of thanksgiving prepare our hearts for the coming year.
By celebrating holy days in alignment with biblical principles, we can spiritually fortify ourselves for whatever challenges lie ahead. Burnett also draws parallels between the biblical tribes entering the promised land and our own journey into the new year. He advises us to trust God fully and allow Him to prepare our hearts, rather than merely seeing ourselves as survivors of a tough year.
This episode is a call to embrace a renewed sense of hope and trust in God's plan for our families and futures. Whether you're grappling with the commercialization of holidays or seeking spiritual guidance for the new year, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to find out how you can transform your holiday season into a time of genuine spiritual preparation.
