Joel 1:1-3:21; Revelation 1:1-20; Psalm 128:1-6; Proverbs 29:18
“John, to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him
who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Behold
he is coming with the clouds and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth
will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.
“I am
the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God,
“who is and who was and who is to come,
the Almighty.”
Revelation 1:4-8
***
Written for us
living in times ending,
observing the season of
Advent-
a time of reflection,
of repentance
of humble adoration
of the One who is, who was, and who
is to come
to deliver us from a world,
though wonderful and bright,
pales in comparison to the
glorious kingdom of Heaven
lit up by the very presence
of God!
Come, Lord Jesus, Come!
Lord God most Holy, I await for your return. Please give me patience and faith to do so! During this season of Advent please search my heart and bring to light all that is impure and unholy. On bended knee please hear my prayer and forgive my sins, for Jesus’ sake. May I be still and really hear your message of redeeming love for all the world. Amen.
