ADVENT DEVOTIONS
This is the first of our Advent devotions using our Website to connect with you all. There will be a new devotion every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and I hope it will become a part of your Advent ritual. In the midst of all that life is demanding of us, I trust that these devotions will be easy to access and will help you to make room for God in your holiday preparations.
For what we access in this devotional time is God. The God who comes into this world as an unassuming child. The God who overcame all in the resurrection of that child 33 years later. The God who guides us in the teachings of Jesus as he walked in our world between birth and death.
Setting aside time for God is far more important than setting aside time for all that needs to be done at this time of year. So do try to set aside the time to check into this blog and to pray. The hope is that you will then be aware of God’s presence with you as you shop, decorate, make gifts for our friends and family, and all the other important things that you do at this time of year. May you find God’s blessing in it all.
PRAYER: Gracious God, who in Your infinite patience, awaits us in this season of Advent. Let us breathe in Your spirit. Let us be guided by Your presence. Let us serve You in all we do in these days. We pray it in Jesus’s name. Amen.
