Advent Reading of Hope Lighting the Advent Candle of Hope   Scripture Reading: Micah 5: 1-7 A Promised Ruler From Bethlehem 5 [a]Marshal your troops now, city of troops,     for a siege is laid against us. They will strike Israel’s ruler     on the cheek with a rod. 2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,     though you are small among the clans[b] of Judah, out of you will come for me     one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old,     from ancient times.” 3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned     until the time when she who is in labor bears a son, and the rest of his brothers return     to join the Israelites. 4 He will stand and shepherd his flock     in the strength of the Lord,     in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they will live securely, for then his greatness     will reach to the ends of the earth. 5 And he will be our peace     when the Assyrians invade our land     and march through our fortresses. We will raise against them seven shepherds,     even eight commanders, 6 who will rule[c] the land of Assyria with the sword,     the land of Nimrod with drawn sword.[d] He will deliver us from the Assyrians     when they invade our land     and march across our borders. 7 The remnant of Jacob will be     in the midst of many peoples like dew from the Lord,     like showers on the grass, which do not wait for anyone     or depend on man.

Dear Lord, thank you for this new season and for the reduction in the fires that have plagued this province and across Canada. Thanks for keeping the focus on Truth and Reconciliation at all levels. May we experience a time when each person can truly extend their love and respect for one another. Grant us the mind and heart-set to be filled with gratitude for all you continue to provide for us. Minimize the rhetoric of discord and increase our understanding and appreciation of your created beings and guide us through the purpose for which you have designed us.

Thank you for reminding us to:

Colossians 3:15-“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18-“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Psalm 107:8-9-“Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”
