MAY HIS WILL BE DONE
The advent season is such a
wonderful time of the year. It seems as
though everyone, all over the world, is coming together to spend time with
loved ones, spread the good news to all they meet, and give back to others in
ways they best see fit. While I’ve see
these actions being performed everywhere I go, I’ve also seen how advent brings
about trying times. “Trying?” you might
ask. “Yes.” This season calls for our faith in the Lord
to stand firm. For some people, times
may be financially difficult and they aren’t capable of giving to others. In certain circumstances, people may not have
any friends or family to share this special time with. During advent and in our everyday lives, we
are faced with many challenges that may require us to call on God. We may think we can resolve our issues on our
own. Often we use some excuse—such as
not wanting to bother Him, but we shouldn’t let anything keep us from going to,
hearing and obeying Him. Do we ever stop
to think that Jesus knows our struggles and experiences as He was born a
man? He has been where we are and has
the ability to help.
Whether
times are tough or things are going according as planned, it’s important to
remember what this season really means.
It’s important to call on His name and keep our faith in our lowest of
valleys and not only in our highest of peaks.
Jesus did not come to help us save ourselves; He came to be our
savior. I challenge you today and
throughout the rest of this Advent season to ask God to take control of your
life and that His will be done.
