freedom and contentment

4th Sunday of Advent, December 18, 2016 (6:06 a.m.)

Awesome, Blessed, Holy God,

Thank You! How long has it been since I've woken up saying, “Wow!”?

There was sleep. And every time it was interrupted, I remembered to breathe and notice what I heard and physically felt. Thank You Father.

Thank You for Your process in teaching
(7:16 a.m.)

Yes Father, Your process is teaching us to be Your good stewards. How I thank You for the work You are doing in us.

In the Story of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21) Jesus told His followers in verse 15, “Beware! Don't be greedy for what You don't have. Real life is not measured by how much we own.”

The comment in The Life Recovery Bible for this section of Scripture tells us, “True freedom and contentment cannot be found in the things we own; recovery can never be bought. These gifts are freely given to us as we humbly turn to God for His gracious help.”

Father, this particular Advent Season has been wonderful. You keep reminding us where You would have us place our priorities. On You! Thank You.
