Take time with the Father daily as you meditate upon his Word
Ask Jesus to interpret his Word and speak to your heart
Open yourself to the Spirit as he brings inspiration
This edition introduces Major Christine Clement as the new writer of Words of Life. She writes about her first book:
George Herbert wrote, ' Where there is peace God is'. Words of Life in 2019 has considered peace 'Finding God's Peace' and 'Peace, Perfect Peace' so we finish focusing not only on God's peace but also his presence.
We meet God with his people in Egypt (Exodus) and as they return from the Babylonian exile as recorded by Haggai and Zechariah.
In this Advent edition we begin a journey with Jesus chronologically through the Gospels while Paul, writing to the Ephesians, celebrates the work of the risen Christ in bringing peace. Lieut-Colonel Lyn Hills, currently serving in the Indonesia Territory, takes us up to Christmas Day counting down the days.
At weekends I hope to provide a useful gift list and focus on some scriptural songs before receiving an early Christmas card! In the remaining days of December we unwrap the gifts brought to Jesus.
