Saturday of the First Week of Advent – 3 December 2016
“Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise.”
Daily Meditation:
Blessed are all who wait for the Lord.
No more will you weep.
The prophetic promise is so great.
What our God has done is so complete a victory over sin and death.
In the midst of my day today, can I let myself imagining that salvation
touching and transforming me?
And can I patiently wait for God’s work to take effect in me
– letting him open my heart, day by day?
Imagining “true liberty” today, let us walk in His ways.
No longer will your Teacher hide himself,
but with your own eyes you shall see your Teacher,
While from behind, a voice shall sound in your ears:
“This is the way; walk in it,”
when you would turn to the right or to the left.
Isaiah 30
Closing Prayer:
Lord of Hope,
Dare I? Can I really hope?
From out of the darkness
I sense a dim light ahead,
the light of Your coming into the world.
I so long for the time
when You are no longer hidden from me
and my deepest desire is
to trust in Your warm voice I hear behind me,
guiding me along a hidden path I do not know.
Dry my tears,
heal my wounds
and help me
to wait for the dawning of the dim light ahead,
with a brighter vision
of healing and freedom.
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

It’s interesting how the candle in the darkness isn’t bright enough to illuminate the destination but it is plenty bright enough to show the way there.

You’re welcome, although I don’t know that it is wisdom so much as just clinging to faith!

You have a way of expressing yourself that makes everything clearer Larry. You need to write a book of them.
