Advent Devotional, December 10

Psalm 119:41-48
 
Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,
    your salvation according to your promise.
                                                                                                                       (Psalm 119:41)
 
Promises are at the heart of the story of Christmas.  The Old Testament again and again tells of the faithfulness of God to keep promises.  The prophets speak of One who will come to be Savior of the world, who will be called “…Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”  That promise has been fulfilled through the incarnation of Christ.  Bethlehem’s baby is reminder to the world that God is ever-faithful.
 
As you think about the challenges and opportunities you face today, let the Psalmist’s words of faith and expectation remind you of the faithfulness of God.
 
Prayer: Faithful God, let your steadfast love come to me, your salvation according to your promise. Amen.
