In our Pacific NW hemisphere, December is the darkest month.
Our Walla Walla Valley often awakens to gray skies or fog.
What a fitting time to celebrate the advent of The Light! In
the midst of gloom—HOPE! God who is rich in kindness showed Himself faithful to
His promise. In Jesus, Immanuel, all the goodness of God is personified and
tangible.
As we read and hear again the familiar story of Christ's
first coming, it often escapes our attention that Joseph and Mary only knew
the promise, not the details of its fulfillment. Yet, they held fast to hope.
My prayer is that we, too, will hold fast to our confession
of hope without wavering, persisting to gather in prayer to the One Who continues
to show Himself true to His Word. As we mothers continue in prayer for our
children and their schools, they will be showered with Light and hearts will be
transformed, a work only the Lord can accomplish. For He Who promised is indeed
faithful! (Hebrews 10:23)
This is a wonderful presentation of Michael Card's "The Promise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyX-uriW3qk.
While we celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Lord and Savior,
remember to share HOPE with other moms. Invite them to gather with you to pray
and experience firsthand the Lord's faithfulness to hear and answer prayer.
Give them a Moms in Prayer International prayer card inside a ministry booklet
to remind them that our God inclines His ear to listen to His daughters.
Deus Spes Nostra—God is Our HOPE!
