With one voice glorify God!
Romans 15:6 Like the wise men, in the push of trying to prepare for Christmas; serving and observing, reflecting, and yes, racing—in postmodern times we also make haste in getting ready. Then we make haste in getting there, wherever the "there" is! Some of us travel, using the star of global positioning systems in cars and planes to bring us home. Then, with wrapping paper flying and gravy spilling on the nice tablecloth, our preparations and good works move at a pace. We need to slow down a notch. Prepare the way for the coming Christ. Take time today to prepare your heart. Sing! With others—with one voice from the many diversely intertwined! Pray. Take a seat. Help a friend. Put the tape down, turn off the Christmas movie, and stop the microwave. For a moment, move from twinkling lights, sparkling wrapping. Move toward a soft star in the sky. Open to, and await, Christ's leading. - Leslie Dobyns Be my guiding compass, and star, dear God. [The Magi, Tapestry]
