One of my favorite songs by Shane & Shane is “Be Near”. It reflects an eager—if not anxious—pleading for God’s nearness to be manifest.
That’s what Israel felt for so long. Centuries. They understood that He would bring peace and that He would restore the kingdom.
We have been waiting to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Our wait is almost over. Tomorrow is Christmas.
Everyday we hope that God makes His presence known to us. As followers of Christ, it is His presence with us keep us mindful of His faithfulness.
And tomorrow we celebrate Emmanuel. God with us!
