Watch, Wait and Receive

Read Malachi 3:1-4 and see how God watches closely over us like a refiner who sits to watch the refining of silver. The way the refiner knows when the refining process is finished is when he can his image reflected in the silver. Let us live our lives so that God's image can be reflected in us, as we watch for the coming of the Christ Child, the very image of God on earth.
Read Zephaniah 3:14-20 and note how the prophet says "on that day" and "at that time," without telling us when that day and time will be. We are to wait patiently for God's time, which is often different from our time.
Read Micah 5:2-5a: It is from Bethlehem, one of the smallest clans of Judah, that the Messiah will come. May we make ourselves small and humble enough to receive God's great gift of the Holy Infant who is soon to come.
