December 3, 2017: First Sunday of Advent

Our hearts long for God, even as we're aware of our shortcomings that separate us from Him.  We know that He is faithful, and so that gives us the hope that He will come to rescue us and restore us, turning us back to Him, so that we may abide in righteousness before Him.

In this hope, we remain alert for His arrival, not only for the celebration of His second coming, and anticipating the celebration of His first coming, but also for Him to enter into our hearts to reign there in righteousness.  May our hope keep us confident and ever ready for Him to appear and work in us, as He is the potter and we are the clay, like Isaiah writes, as we cooperate with His great power that works so marvelously in our lives even now.
