Hebrews 10:35-36
35Do not, therefore, abandon that confidence of yours; it brings a great reward. 36For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.
In this final stretch of Advent, how's your endurance? Are you ready for this whole blessed season to be over so we can get to Christmas and open presents and then put everything away and return to normal? Have you forgotten the little bits of magic you found when you first opened the box of ornaments or turned on the lights outside? How's your confidence that Jesus will be born and we will raise our voices in songs of praise of hope for the world, again?
During this season, remember that God will not abandon you -- have confidence in that. Remember that our waiting comes with great hope, great expectation, and ultimately great promise. Find your endurance waning? Light the candles, center yourself with prayer, dip into the well of worship, and remember God's promises for your life.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn

This particular devotional demanded a print-off and post on my cube-wall reaction. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteEndurance is very relevant right now. Jenn hit the nail on the head.
