Day 4 of Advent - Wednesday, December 5
Philippians 1:3-7 - Anticipation

  “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you.” (Philippians 1:3)

  What do you look forward to the most at Christmas? Be honest. The gifts? The food? The days off work or school? Going to Disneyworld? Going to visit family, or having family come to visit you? We all look forward to something, don’t we?

  Paul was writing to the church at the city of Philippi and telling them he thought of them often and was always grateful to God each time he remembered the people there. He goes on to tell them that he knows that God will continue to do a good work with them until Jesus comes back.

  We look forward to seeing cousins, grandparents, children, friends and other special people during the Christmas season and always want the best for them. However, as much as we look forward to getting together with our family and friends, we should be even more excited about Jesus returning to us someday.

Spend a little quiet time with God today.
