Preparation and Anticipation 12-24-05

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Help me get quiet and still as I watch and wait for the leading of Your Spirit. ... To me, Christmas Eve speaks of preparation and anticipation. In our Christmas hymns of Joy, we proclaim the call to preparation with joy -- "Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing..." As John the Baptist cried out in the wilderness, "Prepare the way of the Lord," I open my heart to Your Holy Spirit to prepare the way for Your coming in anticipation and joy. I prepare You room in the manger of my soul. I join with heaven and nature to repeat the sounding joy. You are the God who humbled Yourself from heaven to earth to be born in a lowly manger and You continue to humble Yourself from heaven to earth to live in the hearts of men. "Joy to the world! The Lord is come! Let earth receive her King!" In Jesus' name we pray, Amen. Be encouraged this day!
