Jeremiah 33: 14-16
n that day the people of Judah and Jerusalem shall live in safety and their motto will be, “The Lord is our righteousness!” (The Living Bible)
What is your Motto ?
The Lord is our Righteousness will be the motto of the people of Judah and Jerusalem in the days of the Lord’s coming. That is a good motto to have! It means being right with the Lord, doing the things that are pleasing to God.
What might that be? You could start by loving your neighbor! You could treat others as you would like to be treated! You could become a servant to your fellow (man or woman) rather than trying to one-up them in every situation! Your priority in life would be to follow Jesus and do as he would have you to do. It would be to work for peace in your life and peace in the world!
In our commercial life of the 21st century we hear a lot of mottos tossed around. Coke is the “real thing.” “Things go better with Coke.” Every business has a motto that is catchy and one that hopefully you will remember Sometimes there is even a song that goes along with the words to refresh your memory.
In this Advent season we are praying for a renewal of our lives as we remember Jesus’ birth. What kind of motto will you remember during this holy time. One that I would recommend is, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” It has been around a long time, but it is still relevant today. Sometimes we forget that the whole season of Advent and Christmas centers around one little baby, born to a poor, homeless couple who is the Savior of the world.
So, this Advent, let “Jesus is the reason for the season “ be your motto!
Prayer: Loving God, open up our minds to the motto of “Jesus is the reason for the season “ this year during Advent. Help us to live our motto in all that we say and do. Amen
Thought for the Day: Let our motto be “Jesus is the reason for the season.”
