She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.
- Revelation 12:5

Gracious Lord, we thank You for the miracle of Jesus's birth, sending Your Son to dwell among us and fulfill Your plan of redemption, despite Satan’s schemes to thwart it through the ages. Strengthen our hearts to remain faithful, eagerly awaiting the day of His return. Amen.
