Week 1
A time for ~
Looking closely at what really matters …
Christmas is on the way ~
another year has passed ~ another year is beginning ~
Advent can be a time for taking out the binoculars of life ~
“What is my perspective?”
“What is God’s perspective?”
The Lord, my – integrity.
Jeremiah Ch 33 v 16
MAKE INTEGRITY
in all things, my characteristic ~
at work,
in my relationships,
at home.
Sometimes I can lose all perspective ~
my life is all over the place ~
there are things that really matter mixed up
with things that don’t matter at all ~
I could look closely at my life with God and
INTE ~ GRATE
GOD’S LOVE
GOD’S TRUTH
GOD’S DIRECTION
I could be on the watch for the contradictions …
as I read the newspapers,
watch TV,
use the mobile,
and look into my own heart.
St Paul urges us to:
“Make more progress in the kind of life you are meant to live and may the Lord be generous in increasing our love
for one another.”
Thessalonians Ch 4 v 1, Ch 3 v 12
Jesus tells us to:
“Watch yourselves …”
Look closely at what is happening to me,
to my neighbour,
to the world in which I live.
See the signs of the times and watch out
for how I can lose my perspective,
my values,
my integrity ...
During this first week of Advent ~
Let me be attentive and watchful
to what is going on within me,
to the events going on around me,
and I could pray ~
Lord, make me know your ways.
Lord, teach me your paths.
Make me walk in your truth
and teach me for you are my God,
my Saviour!
