"A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel."
Your majestic presence. The glory of You Lord shines in the dark places, causing some to be afraid. We are not afraid Lord because You are our Redeemer. When we meet a stranger, one who is foreigner to the faith, may they willingly receive the good tidings of comfort and joy we bring. "Jesus is alive!" Glory to God in the highest, the promise of peace is for all who welcome Your Son into the inn of their hearts. In You Lord we have obtain an inheritance, we have been predestined according to You, to the council of Your will. As we set about to the quickening pace this season brings may Your perfect peace be upon us. Not conforming to the pressures of the world and the false glitter that is not gold. May we take joy in the simplicity of just gathering in Your name singing praises, the breaking of bread and the hearing of Your word. May Your Spirit restrain us from overindulgence and with-it bring revelation of what is truly necessary. We live in a world where shiny things draw our attention, distracting us from the brilliance of who You are, the Messiah. As the shepherds keeps watch over their flocks so too may we be watchful over those You have entrusted into our care. May our children grow becoming strong, filled with wisdom and have favor with You Lord. Father, bless this day and may we rejoice in it. Amen.
