Wednesday, December 24, Christmas’ Eve Read Luke 1:38, 46-50
I am the LORD’s slave ...
Once Mary had the assurance and the promise that nothing was impossible with God, she willingly risked reputation, probably even her life, and accepted the challenge of being the human instrument needed to cradle within her the Son of God. Mary had the capacity of servanthood.
Read Mary’s musical response once again. Think about the commitment required for Mary to risk glorifying God at this point in her life. The world does not come by this understanding of servanthood naturally. It is a characteristic of those in the family of faith.
How can you bring glory to God today in the form of a servant?
Proddings from the Holy Spirit often enable us to become servants of the Most High. How has God’s Spirit been moving or prodding you?
Write out a prayer sometime today.
Reflect upon what you have experienced during this season of Advent.
Write out your commitments, confessions, praises, and requests.
Read the prayer to God as a way of bringing closure to this worship experience called Advent.
