Daily Bread — Make a Joyful Noise This Christmas

Today’s Reading: Psalm 98:1–9
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)

“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.”
(Psalm 98:4, KJV)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Emmanuel — God With Us

A Thought for Today

Christmas is a day of celebration, remembrance, and joy.
Today’s Psalm invites us not to be silent, but to rejoice — openly and wholeheartedly.

What This Means for Us Today

Psalm 98 reminds us that joy is a response to what God has done. The birth of Christ is not quiet news. It is good news meant to be shared.

A joyful noise does not have to be perfect or polished. It can be laughter, gratitude, song, prayer, or simple praise from the heart.

Because Emmanuel has come, joy has entered the world.

Carry This With You

Let today be marked by gratitude.
Joy grows when we remember what God has given us — His presence, His promises, and His Son.

A Simple Prayer

God, thank You for the gift of Jesus.
Fill our hearts with joy and gratitude this Christmas Day.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Take a moment today to rejoice.
Let your joy — in whatever form it takes — be your praise.
