Advent Devotional
Psalm 25: 4-7
“For you, I wait all day long.”
I love these days of waiting. In our household, it’s these days of waiting that have more ritual, more introspection, more joy, and more connection with God than the actual “day” for which we are waiting. I love all the potential, all the possibilities, and all the anticipation of the promise. Whereas, when I was younger, I loved The Day. I relished in the promise delivered. As I read this passage, I contemplated that change. And I ask you now – in this season, when do you feel closer to God? The days of waiting before Christmas or on Christmas day – and why?
PRAYER: O gracious God, your mercy and steadfast love are of old, but we feel them still. Help us find you in this joyous season. For you, we wait. Amen.
