Advent I · Ponder The Paradox

Prepare: Whisper this prayer —

Inhale: God of heaven,
Exhale: Help me to find You.

Ponder: Read this passage —

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby
wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

—Luke 2:12 (NIV)

Prompt: Ponder this paradox —

the paradox of majesty in the manger:

God, come to earth, brought low
for Love as babe through birth.

Not merely God over us,
but God with us.

Forsaking throne,
taking flesh.

Here, He is
found.

Majesty in the manger,
God in the mess
of man.

Inhale: God of heaven,
Exhale: Here I find You.

Amen.
