Verse 3 – Changing The Ordo Honors God
Verse 1 – the calendar; Verse 2 – people; Verse 3 – God!
In the largest sense, everything about our lives is a “season of preparation” in the here-and-now for arrival at our ultimate destination. We are aliens, traveling through a specific time and place, on our way to a place He has prepared for us where neither time nor our idea of space or place have any real meaning. Now it’s the day before the day before; soon we will be in the midst of all that we’ve been preparing for. How did that go? Are we really ready? Everything thought, bought and brought? Everything useless discarded, everything worthy and worthwhile kept?
The Day always seems like a giant ready-go-fire-set-aim, and it’s over! How would it be to start earlier, think more, go slower, and cram in some contemplation (there’s an interesting phrase!)? How would it be to feel ready, be ready, then take more time enjoying what we prepared for? How would that affect our relationships with each other, and most importantly our relationship with our Father? HE doesn’t need the time, but we do.
More time to prepare, more time to celebrate, more time to enjoy, more time to worship – how would that be? In the meantime,
Merry Christmas!
