Advent Devotion. 12/18/07: The Chill Of Winter
December 18th, 2007 · Posted in Advent Devotions ·Today’s Advent devotion from the Goshen College devotional site is taken from Isaiah 7:10-16 and entitled The Chill of Winter.
Here’s a portion of it:
The long nights and chill of winter bring into question the reality of spring. While I enjoy all the seasons, there is a point in winter when I long for the signs of new growth – of green leaves and the flush of flowers blooming. The gray days and stark landscape become wearisome to the soul. A cry for hope emerges from within. The constancy of the cycles of the seasons – knowing that spring will come – reassures me of hope and restoration.
God indeed brings restoration and renewal — to nature and our lives!
