Hebrews 1: 6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God’s angels worship him.”
Paul quotes Deuteronomy. He is making the case for the Messiah to the Chosen People. He wants them to understand just how important Jesus is. He was, like us, a little lower than the angels for a time, but he is now with his Father on the throne. The angels worship him, and so should we.
I have been having trouble getting the Christmas spirit. I am sure that it's partly grief, but my last few weeks have been so stressful with work too. Not my job, that's easy. It's my home and family that have me so overcommitted. The packing, the moving, the long drive to, from and within Florida.... I am so overwhelmed. And there is Christmas too. I have given up the Christmas things, but I have tried to find the meaning of Christmas in my life. It's not so successful.
Prayer: Lord, I am seeking Your Holy Spirit to guide me. I need to find the wonder and magic of Christmas in my life. I want to feel the truth in the gift of Your son. Please make me more mindful of the reason for the season.
Amen
