The Advent Task: To Behold the fulfillment of the promises
24th December, 2015
2 Sam 7: 1-5,8-12,14,16; Lk 1: 67-79
You need special eyes to behold the fulfillment of the promises of the Lord. At times we implore the Lord for something and we see it doesn't come immediately. But let us be very clear, the Lord answers every query: the Lord either says yes and gives, or says no and forbids, or says wait and responds at the right time. But when it delays, we tend to lose our focus and be at our own business. We lose our sight so much that we are not prepared to behold them when the promises of the Lord are fulfilled... we are still busy complaining about something else.
We are on the last day before Christmas, Christmas a moment when humanity beheld the eternal promises of the Lord, the promise to be amidst us. Today let us take some moments off our busy preparations and sit in reflection for a while, going over our lives thus far and thanking the Lord for all the promises that have been fulfilled in our lives. That would be a beautiful preparation in itself to behold the Child of Eternal Promises tomorrow!
