Advent Devotion - November 29th


2nd Day of Advent
Written by: Barbara Johnson

Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:3-9
“… just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you — so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1: 6-9

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. Our God is faithful. What was written by Paul in the first century AD continues to be true today. We need to remember this fact when our faith wanes, or we get too busy to take time to profess our faith – our God is faithful to us. He loves us and wants us to have a deep, abiding relationship with Him. Unfortunately, some days my busy life gets in the way of my prayer life. But God is the parent whose love remains strong even though the child has not made contact in awhile. God is always ready and willing to accept – with love – our “knee mail.”

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for loving us and for being our faithful Lord and Savior. Don’t let our busy days get in the way of our life with you. Amen.
