Thought for Monday December 5

Our God will come to save us!
Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven.
Our God will come to save us!

Isaiah 35: 1 – 10    The desert and the parched land will exult; the steppe will rejoice and bloom. They will bloom with abundant flowers, and rejoice with joyful song. The glory of Lebanon will be given to them, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

Streams will burst forth in the desert, and rivers in the steppe. The burning sands will become pools, and the thirsty ground, springs of water.

Do I have a picture of the promises of God that is as clear as Isaiah’s?    Can I imagine the dramatic change that would occur if a river sprang up in the desert?

Action:  Take the time during Advent to develop a clear picture of what God has promised you.
