Your Truth

 Sunday, November 28, 2021 (6:53 a.m.)

Holy God,

I’m looking to You for Truth Lord. Your Truth!

(7:18 a.m.)

Mm, yes. Let’s start there. Your Truth.

Lord, there is so very much untruth in the world today. It’s exhausting. Life sucking. Thank You that Your Truth is life giving! Healing. Powerful. Holy.

Today marks the First Sunday of Advent. A time of preparing our hearts for the coming of Jesus. Guide us please, I pray.

(7:42 a.m.)

And just like that [SNAP!] I’m smiling! My heart feels lighter. Open. Hopeful. Father, thank You!

Directed to Jeremiah 33:14-15 I read Your “Promises of Peace and Prosperity” and am immediately filled with hope. Looking at the world around us offers very little in that regard.

Reading a comment in The Life Recovery Bible I find great comfort. “33:1-26 When life seems like an unstable disaster, there is one thing we can count on. God is committed to us and to our recovery. He has promised to never abandon us. No matter how gray our life may be, no matter how dark the future seems, our loving and faithful God can heal us, restore our hope, and lead us toward recovery. As we trust Him with our disappointments, failures, sins, and confusion, we will find Him faithful to comfort, forgive and guide us.”

Your Truth! That’s where we find hope for “the sounds of joy and laughter” (v. 11 a). Your Word promises “The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will be heard again, along with the joyous songs of people bringing thanksgiving offerings to the LORD. They will sing, ‘Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good. His faithful love endures forever!’” (11b, c).

It is in You and Your Truth we find the hope we need to continue in the day to day nonsense that surrounds. Prepare us Lord.

In this “time of preparation that directs our hearts and minds to Christ’s second coming at the end of time and to the anniversary of Our Lord’s birth on Christmas” draw our attention to You. And all this season is meant to represent. Your Truth, Dear Lord. Your Truth.

Use me as only You know is best. Glorifying and enjoying You. Thanking and praising You in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Trusting. Believing. Hoping. Preparing. Yes, Lord!

Thank You. Praise You. I love You. Amen.
