Bible Readings for Sunday, November 25 through Sunday, December 2

Exodus 21:22-33:23; Matthew 24:1-27:14; Psalms 29:1-33:11; Proverbs 7:6-8:36 As we are approaching the First Sunday in Advent, I pause to think about our Savior who came to us in a form of a babe. Many during that time, missed "Jesus in Disguise" and still today, we often don't take the time to look for that God Sighting each day, and that person we should treat as a very special child of God. I'll never forget my experience on my first mission trip to Belize. Looking into the eyes of some very improverished children, I was able to see Jesus in their eyes. When I returned, a very changed individual, I began to take a second look...in a very different way...through God's eyes upon the ones who may be the unlikely ones to want to love and get close to and to find my place in God's kingdom here on earth. More world mission trips followed, along with taking a closer look at those in need who were on our doorsteps. This is my desire at this moment...to seek His will and pray that God will move within me. To dream God's dream and then act upon His vision is my goal this Advent season.

Jesus in Disguise-How can we learn to experience God Every Day Questions to Ponder: Who do you feel God is calling you to treat as if that person were Jesus in disguise? Why? How do you feel compelled to act toward that individual or group of people?
