Worship Fully
There’s a reason that Worship Fully is the first tenet of Advent Conspiracy. We believe that when our hearts are orientated toward Christ, the rest of the tenets will fall into place. The way we spend, give and love will radically change when it come from a place of true worship
Bible Readings
Ps. 72:1–7, 18–19
Isa. 30:19–26
Acts 13:16–25
Prayer
Lord thank you for loving us
Thank you for being gracious about our mistakes
May we learn to keep your messages, guidance, and the examples of Jesus before us, guiding our actions every day
Reflection
Isaiah tells us we will always live with adversity, the hard stuff, it’s part of life. He points out that we like our own way and struggle to think and respond in the ways of God. He also tells us that God listens to our calls for help, our saying sorry, and will respond if our eyes are willing to see and our ears willing to listen to his message – ‘this is the way, walk in it’. He then points out God’s everyday miracles that we tend to take for granted – rain, food, animals, light and dark, other people. This Christmas may we focus on the coming and example of Jesus, be grateful for all that God offers and be willing to offer and share that love, care, and compassion with those that share our road and with those that we will never know
