“In that day I will raise up the booth of David that is fallen and repair its breaches, and raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old, that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name,” declares the Lord who does this. Amos 9:11-12
I can’t stand cheesy movies, but if I’m honest, I also kind of love them. You know the ones—within the first 30 minutes, you can already guess exactly how it will end. Yes, those movies; the type of movie that just so happens to reign during the holiday season.
I want the drama of real life; I want to feel the rollercoaster of emotions—from the sorrow of disappointment to the excitement of love and even to the pain of heartbreak.
But occasionally, I want to throw on my “holiday movie watching” sweatshirt, make a hot cup of cocoa, snuggle up in a cozy blanket and watch a movie where love clearly wins and justice is ultimately served—all in the most predictable way… To read the rest of this devotional and all 25 entries, purchase our advent devotional, Longing for Christmas.
