Thursday, Dec 3 - Now & Not Yet<br />
Advent gently reminds us of the “now” and “not yet” that comes with being people of faith.<br />
Advent reminds us of the importance of waiting. Advent whispers our need for a Savior. Advent<br />
teaches us God’s timing is always better than ours!<br />
-Margaret Feinberg-<br />
This morning’s focus is short…but, it’s important. This is about zeroing in on the “waiting room”<br />
period that comes with Advent. There are several things I’m praying about, waiting on, and<br />
begging God to let me see their advent. Much of my waiting involves people I love who are in<br />
need of my Savior. As I reflect today on the Advent of <strong>Jesus</strong>’ birth, I pray for the timing of His<br />
"birth" in each of those hearts who don’t KNOW Him. With God, it is always about the<br />
occurrences we’re seeking, coming in the fullness of time. So, while I’m standing in the now, I’m<br />
looking for the time when the “not yet” is at an end, and God the Father looks at God the Son<br />
and says, “OK, now - go! Be born-anew in hearts that have seen the fulness-of-time!”<br />
May these current waitings remind us to pray and to do what we can to “prepare the way” of the<br />
Savior in the hearts of those we love who don’t yet know him.<br />
