Its Advent, boys and girls:
The days are coming, says the LORD,
when I will fulfill the promise
I made to the house of Israel and Judah.
In those days, in that time,
I will raise up for David a just shoot ;
he shall do what is right and just in the land.
In those days Judah shall be safe
and Jerusalem shall dwell secure;
this is what they shall call her:
“The LORD our justice.” – Jeremiah 33:14-16
I know not all our readers are Christian, but there’s something about this Advent which is making me more reflective than usual. I’ve come far in my walk with Christ, but I’ve also stumbled – and some times quite seriously. I am waiting, of course, as all Christians are for the time when it’ll no longer be possible for me to stumble – for the time when I will be what I was always meant to be.
I’ve much to do – you do, too – and some times I grow weary, but in this time of expectation, I feel a thrill of renewed hope. And I hope you are do, as well.
