On weekdays during Advent we are posting the daily reflection from our Abundance Advent booklet here on our blog. You can download the booklet in its entirety here.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”
Psalm 121:1-4
There’s a ton of laundry yet to be done. Somehow the hamper is staying at a constant full this week. Clean dishes to unload. Dirty dished to wash. When did all these leaves fall? Someone will have to rake those. Hundreds of photos to edit. Hundreds more to take. Meals to make. I need quality time and good conversations with my husband and kids! Lunches to pack. Bills to pay. The girls need help with homework. An abundance of “stuff” to do. Some of it good and enjoyable. Some if it humdrum but necessary. All of it overwhelming at one time. I’m tired before I’ve even begun!
I need to look up from the everyday stuff of life to the One who is my strength. His strength is mercifully abundant. My help comes from the One who created all things. Who made Heaven and Earth from nothing. He has no need for sleep! Can you imagine?! This God loves me. He is my keeper (vs. 5). Brothers and sisters, He is your keeper as well! Draw from the wells of His abundant strength!
