2020 Advent Devotions
Monday, December 14 - Denise Yohn
Luke 2:10 “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.”
This past year we were excited to find out that we had another grandchild on the way. As with all of our children and grandchildren, we waited with excitement. And with a certain amount of concern that the baby would be healthy. We knew approximately when and where she or he would be born. But other than that all we could do as grandparents was patiently wait and let the rest up to God.
As we look back to the first Christmas, we can just imagine what Mary and Joseph were going through, as they received the news that they were expecting. Not just a child but the Son of God. Imagine what they were feeling knowing that their child would be the Savior. And just like us all they could do as parents was patiently wait and let the rest up to God.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us each day to put our trust in you, knowing that you love us and know our every need. Amen.
