2nd Advent Candle
Hope 🕯
in a young girl
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7
Fields and barns are peaceful at night. There are noises, but they are usually quiet and subdued. God chose a place where animals would be sleeping for the night...not a room with even the basics of the day, for His Son to be delivered.
He
chose the peaceful country side...with its flocks and lowly shepherds to be the
first to come see this Baby.
📖 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly
host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
Luke 2 :13-20
Prayer: Thank you Lord for choosing the humble and lowly to surround Your plan for our peace and salvation. Thank you for Jesus's words to us...
📖 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
Amen
