Doing day one of my advent study and the scripture is Isaiah 9:6-7. The prophet is telling of the coming Messiah. What stuck out most from the devotional was God's faithfulness. It took 700 years for this prophesy to be fulfilled but IT WAS. The reflection section reminds us that as we are waiting for Christ's second coming HE IS....right now at work in our hearts, HE IS...our wonderful counselor, mighty God and Prince of Peace.
I thought of a special friend who is traveling the road of infertility and felt compelled to say a special prayer for her as she continues in her place of waiting. She is but the face of many, possibly even you dear reader, who will celebrate this holiday season longing for empty arms to be made full. If this is you, just as I prayed for her tonight I also pray for you; as you wait expectantly, in those darkest moments HE IS your peace.
While there is no way to know what the earthly outcome of your waiting will be, I can say with confidence God has something EXCELLENT in store for you!
