Reflection for the First Sunday in Advent

Reflection for the First Sunday in Advent
Wait for the Lord, be strong, and let your heart take courage.

- Psalm 27:14

In our personal lives, waiting in not a very popular pastime. Waiting is not something we anticipate or experience with great joy and gladness! In fact, most of us consider waiting a waste of time. Perhaps this is because the culture in which we live is basically saying, "Get going! Do something! Show you are able to make a difference! Don't just sit there and wait!" So, for us and many people, waiting is a dry desert between were we are and where we want to be. We do not enjoy such a place. We want to move out of it and so something worthwhile.

Dear Lord, help me be patient as I await your arrival.
