It Won’t Be Easy, but Don’t Be Afraid (Advent 2024)
“But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like washers' soap;” - Malachi 3:2
I don’t believe we are pawns on a divine chess board. I don’t believe that every thing that happens is in accordance with a master plan. However, I do believe that the presence and power of God in our lives is transformative and liberating.
Advent means: coming to. Each year we pause to celebrate and anticipate God’s presence breaking through into our everyday lives.
There’s nothing easy about it for us. The presence of God in our lives is like a refiners fire cooking the impurities out of gold. It is like the course washer’s soap scrubbing the fabric of our lives clean.
Some of the things we go through are indeed incredibly difficult. Yet we need not fear. We are in the hands of a master crafter who will make us shine.
I’m Horace McMIllon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
