We have entered the season of Advent. This is a time of year that I love and look forward to with anticipation … A time of family and friends … A time of gathering and fellowship … A time of celebration and a time of expectation.
I hear the words “Come and Hear” this Advent season.
Noise … honking horns, shouting voices, clanging, chatter, and the internal noise of our own minds … this time of year can be full of distracting sounds. A cacophony of dizzying sound that pulls us away from the sound of God’s voice. At this time, more than any other time, the increased noise of the Christmas holiday season can and does distract us from the sound that matters most … the voice of our Heavenly Father!
There is a gift God wants to share during this Advent Season … The whispered words from His heart … there are words He wants you to hear this season that are meant just for you … Come and hear this advent season. Quiet the noise … who is God trying to speak through this Advent season … is it older woman in the grocery store line, is it the homeless person you walk past on the city street, is it the teenager dressed in black with piercings and colored hair, is it the neighbor that waves to you everyday … yes, God uses the most unlikely people to speak to you … He used the shepherds on that amazing night thousands of years ago when Christ was born to spread the news of the Messiah’s birth … Come and hear this Advent Season … don’t miss God’s heart message … quiet the noise … Come and hear!
“When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.” Luke 2
