Focus on the true meaning of Christmas
In this podcast episode, Paul Tripp discusses the importance of refocusing on the true meaning of Christmas amidst the various traditions and festivities. He highlights the tendency to overlook the coming of Jesus and encourages listeners to participate in a daily advent devotional (available at paltrip.com/advent) to reawaken their awe and celebration of Jesus during the Christmas season.
Count your blessings instead of complaining
Drawing from Psalm 66, Paul Tripp emphasizes the significance of counting blessings rather than continuously complaining. He explains that our inner conversation profoundly influences our sense of identity, well-being, and the way we live our lives. Tripp suggests that we ought to prioritize counting blessings and joyfully praising God for His awesome deeds in our lives, recognizing His presence, grace, and provision even amidst trials and discipline. By sharing the ways God has blessed us, we can cultivate an attitude of gratitude and lead a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Every time the Christmas season comes around, we look forward to putting up a tree, giving and receiving gifts, and participating in other traditions that make this wonderful time of year so special. But sometimes the most significant aspect of the season — remembering and focusing on the coming of Jesus — grows old and familiar.
In Come Let Us Adore Him: A Daily Advent Devotional, Paul Tripp seeks to recapture our attention and reawaken our awe during Christmastime. Each day is structured with a compelling, gospel-centered thought followed by an extended meditation for the day.
Each of the thirty-one devotions also includes a Scripture reading and notes for parents and children, equipping us to do the one thing that matters most each December — celebrate Jesus. Get your copy today at PaulTripp.com/Advent.
