Friday December 17 Joy Psalm 66:1-4
Make
a joyful noise to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him
glorious praise.
Say
to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Because of your great power, your enemies
cringe before you. All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you, sing
praises to your name.” Selah

As I spend time with my son and his
family, I see the choices we make every day, both conscious and unconscious, as
well as good, "not-so-good" and plain no good. For example, my three-year-old granddaughter,
Julie, LOVES rainbows and will share that fact with anyone. She is seriously
over the moon and it doesn't matter if it's on an eraser, a ball, a shirt or in
the sky.
Now, as Christians, we should be just
as excited if not more so, and definitely "...shouting for joy to God,...
singing The Glory of His name..." because we KNOW what rainbows mean. We
KNOW they are a symbol of God's promise to never flood the Earth again.
So, what do you say? Do we live this
Advent as well as this coming year with the JOY of a three-year-old? Do we CHOOSE to "... say to God, 'How
awesome are Your deeds?'" The
choice, dear brothers and sisters, is up to you.
Dear God-
Thank You for Your continued presence
and watch care over us. Please help us
CHOOSE "to see" You during Advent and after. May we embrace the JOY
of this time of year "... singing the glory of Your name and giving You
glorious praise...".
Thank You for the blessings yet to
come. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen
