Advent Devotional 2020
Week 2: Day 9: Worship Him
Week 2: Day 8: Worship Him
During Advent, this song from Lianna Klassen serves as a springboard to meditate on worship, waiting, and fulfillment. It imagines the lives of three women described in Luke’s gospel: Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna. The one who stands out to me this time is Anna. She was an ordinary woman who worshiped with her whole self. […]
Week 1: Day 7: Seek Him
As I was spending some quiet time with God, I leafed through an adult colouring book about the promises of God. I finally landed on a page with Jeremiah 29:13 on it – “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Cool. That’s exactly the reminder I need […]
Week 1: Day 6: Seek Him
Part 1 – Seek – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 What do you “seek” first when you need to console yourself? Where do you run when it hurts? If what the bible says about […]
Week 1: Day 5: Come Alive in Christ – Seek Him
Colossians 3:1-17 Throughout this passage, there are three things I noticed that show us what it means to be alive in Christ. 1) Setting your heart and mind on things above doesn’t mean you can never be present in things here on earth, it means you need to do it all for the glory of […]
Week 1: Day 4: Wise Men Still Seek Him
“Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him.” Psalms 34:8 (NLT). A baby – the Messiah – was born into the world. Both back then and now, individuals have reacted differently to the presence of the Lord in their life. Let’s look at two of […]
Week 1: Day 3: Seek Him
Today I was listening to a man reading with great expression the first ten chapters of John. I like listening. It’s incredible how many truths resonate with a renewed understanding of the Holy Scriptures when I listen! In Chapter eight, Jesus is explaining that he is the one. The one what? The one that the […]
Week 1: Day 2: Seek Him
Luke 1:13a Isn’t that an amazing announcement? Isn’t that what we are longing to hear? Zechariah had prayed for a son, and I suspect he prayed that prayer for years. But I also suspect that he gave up when he and his wife had gotten too old to have a child. And then….WHAM….a huge answer […]
Week 1: Day 1: Seeking Him, Waiting for Him – Letting God Dig Deep.
Seeking and waiting. On the surface, these two terms seem to be more opposite than alike, however, they both have a few things in common. They are both active and intentional; they both require time, perseverance, and patience. Now one may not ever really be 100% sure of when the eventual result will materialize or […]
Going on A Journey Nov 29-Dec 24
We are about to go on a journey together. This has been a year that no one could prepare for. Death of famous celebrities, Covid, elections, politics, murderous hornets and much more. These are things happening on a global scale that have given rise to “2020” being used like a swear word. Closer to home, […]
