WAITING

The First Sunday in Advent

PSALM 119:76 (CEV)
I serve you, LORD.
Comfort me with your love,
just as you have promised.

LUKE 2:25 (CEV)
At this time a man named Simeon was living in Jerusalem. Simeon was a good man. He loved God and was waiting for God to save the people of Israel. God’s Spirit came to him...

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God fulfills his promises to those who wait.

PRAYER
Lord, I'm impressed by people like Simeon who patiently wait for their entire lives for what you promise. I admit that I have a hard time waiting for anything. I want everything to happen now. Help me to eliminate all the unnecessary hurry from my life. I'm going to delight in waiting for you. Amen.
