Advent Reflection - Monday, Week 1

Luke 1:5-7

Zechariah and Elizabeth were childless, which in their culture was a great misfortune, even a disgrace. One can imagine their feelings of failure and inadequacy.

All of us feel barren in one way or another. We haven’t “produces” in our life what others (or ourselves) had hoped we would. Our failure to live up to “what might have been” leaves us with a certain empty feeling.

But God does things through us that we ourselves cannot do, or even measure. And God does them often in ways we do not understand.

That’s the secret. Let God do what God wants to do through me. That is the path to greatness — no matter what my age, no matter what my condition.

O Lord, let me let YOU do what You want to do through me today!

~~ Spend some quiet time with the Lord. ~~
