Finding a Deep and Wide Christmas Advent – Dec. 7th

We don’t have to participate in the Crazy Christmas Countdown. We can enjoy this day instead of seeing it as one less opportunity to get everything done. Here’s an idea: Let’s ask God to be God to us today. The very idea brings my blood pressure down, and it’s not even mine. It’s His!

Over and over in the Scriptures, God expresses His intention to be our God and for us to be His people. The variation of this phrasing I love the most is His often-expressed desire to “be God to you.” It’s mentioned first in Genesis 17:7. Whatever that fantastic promise includes, it’s one of God’s go-to expressions. He uses those words or similar phrasing more than three hundred times in His Word. Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to help us respond to God’s intense love for our company with a passion for His! ~excerpted from Finding Deep and Wide, releasing January 2020

I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you (Genesis 17:7).
