ASLC Devotions -- Wednesday

Micah 4:6 On that day, says the Lord,
   I will assemble the lame
and gather those who have been driven away,
   and those whom I have afflicted.


We all have our dreams of the perfect Christmas. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. I'm dreaming of singing "Silent Night" in German. I'm dreaming of eating more cookies than any human being not named Santa should eat on any one night.

Micah had a vision of a perfect Christmas too, though he didn't call it that. Micah's vision of a perfect celebration of the Lord's coming sounds to me something like an awards banquet at the Special Olympics crossed with a night at our PADS shelter. That'd be pretty cool. So Micah's vision of the Lord's coming looks something like a standard week here at All Saints. Thanks be to God for the ways that you live into this vision of the Lord's coming.

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
