Those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. -- Isaiah 40:31
Each year the Christians of the world turn toward Bethlehem and use these days to renew their sense of who and why they are. The commercial world rates these days by sales, and the merchants spur us on with music. The spiritual world says, Pause. Renew your commitment. Redirect your heart toward the Child who is God’s love enfleshed. Which world do we hear more clearly today, the commercial or the Christian? |
