“God inspired the prophets of old that they should foretell of His great promise of a Messiah. Many generations of people lived in expectation, hoping that this promise would be fulfilled in their day. We also live in a day of anticipation, knowing that Christ will return, perhaps in our lifetime.”
"Lighting of the Candle"
“Today as we begin the Advent Season, the candle of expectation is lighted. May it serve to remind us of God’s great promise to human kind and that He always keeps His promises.
“Heavenly Father, may we have a new appreciation of your promises to us and fulfillment of them. Help us to prepare our lives for the advent within us during this Holy Season. In His Name we pray. Amen.”
