"Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom scripture says: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, he will prepare your way before you.'" Luke 7:26-27
Advent Day 7 - Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of Jesus. John the Baptist and his followers prepared the way for Christ so He could heal, so He could save and so He could forgive sin. A time of preparation, we decorate our homes by putting up Christmas Trees, lights, hanging ornaments and stockings. I wonder how many of us prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ. Our preparations always include others whether it be family members or friends. We are the sum of the seven closest people to us, this should give you some idea of how your preparation is coming along. John prepared the way for Jesus to heal, we too have this responsibility to prepare the way. Slow down from all the glitz and glamor and prepare your way, make it a conscious effort or the world will overtake you.
What is God saying to me: Witness my power and glory today, rest easy.
Dear Father, all is prepared to the best of our abilities for this day. Help us see the way that You are asking us to walk. Help us see how we can be different in this Christmas season to point to You so others may see the way. Thank You Father for all the prayers that others are praying, may You answer their prayers. Bless this day Lord with eyes to see and ears to hear the way that we are to go. Prayers for a little one who deals with anxiety may You intervene and fill her heart with peace. I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Blessed Mother of Jesus, pray for us.
