The days are ticking away. More and more doors appear in the advent calenders. Has the panic started yet? When did the candle burn that low?
Perhaps you have an advent calender of some sort in your house. Not gonna lie, I kind of like having some chocolate to eat every day! ;)
But we can be thankful for so much more than that when it comes to advent.
We can look back in history and be thankful for that day, so long ago, when a great miracle happened. When the one and only God, infinite, holy, transcendent, awesome, who holds oceans in His hand, who spun the stars into being, who knows the number of every grain of sand and every hair on every person on earth's head - when this God put His glory inside the body of a man.
We can be thankful for the fun of anticipation, of eagerly awaiting something to come. Christmas Day, celebrations, food and presents await!
But we can be thankful that we anticipate something far greater - we await the day our Saviour returns to earth again. But not as a baby. As a conquering King, who will receive the glory He is due! And we will live with Him FOREVER!!!
That's really been the focus of my devos this month: we celebrate that He came, we look forward to Him coming back again. What a fab focus in the build up!
