THE TIME OF FULFILLMENT
"Zechariah his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, uttered this
prophecy..." —Luke 1:67
On this Christmas Eve, we stand at the threshold of the fulfillment of
amazing prophecies. We may have been waiting for months or years for this,
and this Christmas season will be the awaited time. Most of these
prophetic promises of God may seem no closer to being fulfilled now than
they have been for years. Some of these revelations you can hardly
remember. It's been so long since you first heard them. Nonetheless, now
you are on the threshold, although you know this only by faith, not by
sight (2 Cor 5:7).
Today, in these last few hours before the Christmas season begins, pray,
fast, repent, read the Bible, and be quiet. Choose the better part (Lk
10:42). Don't be so busy about the details of hospitality (Lk 10:40). Sit
at Jesus' feet and listen to His words (Lk 10:39). Prepare the way of the
Lord (Is 40:3). He "will surely come." His prophetic revelation "will not
be late" (see Hab 2:3).
"We possess the prophetic message as something altogether reliable. Keep
your attention closely fixed on it, as you would on a lamp shining in a
dark place until the first streaks of dawn appear and the morning star
rises in your hearts" (2 Pt 1:19).
Prayer: Father, rekindle my faith that You will keep the promises which
have been unfulfilled for years.
Promise: "Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever." —2 Sm 7:16
Praise: After seeking forty years for God, John found his lost faith
during Advent, died shortly thereafter, and was home in heaven by
Christmas.
