Advent Devotional - Day Nine

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.  (Psalm 40:3)

Oh, my heart would desperately yearn for acceptance, belonging, certainty and love. Blessedly, His will was to remove the veil from my eyes and to renew my mind to see the need just for Him. For out of the great and Holy wrath of God, was born an even greater love in Christ. For out of the mortal death to flesh and sin, was birthed an immortal awakening of the soul and to new life. And for out of the sorrowful ending to one season, He promises to bring forth the glory to come in the beginning of a new season.  

Lord Jesus, the Christ, we thank you for your unending love, mercy and grace upon those to whom you have chosen before the beginning of the world. May we treasure this current season and yet always be reaching and longing for the new eternal season to come with you in Heaven. Amen.

Anthony Marciano is pastor of Tyrone Presbyterian Church.
