Four hundred years of silence!
Four hundred years of drought!
Not a single drop of refreshing, hope filled words from the Lord God Almighty.
Silence.
Was Yahweh finished?
Was HIS word complete?
Would the Lord of the universe ever speak again?
Would HE send a new prophet?
Silence.
Four hundred years of silence.
Had the people of the promise finally exhausted God?
Was God exasperated with HIS people?
The faithful waited patiently in a spiritually dry climate.
Lord, how quickly we grow weary of waiting. We are an instant messaging generation. We want microwave responses. we crave instant gratification. Could we have survived four hundred years without your fresh life giving word?
Lord, we praise and thank you for your living word. We praise and magnify your name because you sent us your living word to walk among us every day of our lives. You, in your great mercy sent us your son, Jesus the Christ. No matter how many words of thanks we ever express, they will never be sufficient to thank you for this indescribable gift, your Son,Jesus the Christ, Emanuel. The "with us", ever present Lord willing to walk with us every day of our lives. Amen
