2021 Advent Devotions
Thursday, December 9 - Lynda Farner
Psalm 57:9-10 “I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens; Your faithfulness extends to the clouds.”
As a child, I would wish for or long for things that I thought were very important to me and my life at the time. As an adult, I see things differently and am learning about true longing in relation to God, Jesus Christ and my faith. Attending church services, my personal devotions and talking with people have helped me to determine who I am and what I need to focus on.
It’s important to have direction in your life, something to look forward to. I long to know what happens after I leave this world. Please note, I am not anxious to leave yet. I have a lot on my bucket list and I want to see our six grandchildren grow up. But I am practical and I like to know what’s next. So, I study, think, discuss and get myself ready as I long to know more and to understand and retain what I hear and read.
Prayer: My God, continue to help us see that your kingdom awaits us. Help us to put forth good effort to learn more about the teachings of your Son, Jesus Christ, and of your creation. We pray in your name, Amen.
