Well, hello, everyone, and welcome to the Lord daily, good morning. we are also going through our advent book we love

this beautiful book we'll make sure to have it linked in the description below the podcast but we are

going to go through this before we jump into a new little devotional plan so let's read through

day one through day three. It says this. God sent the

angel Gabriel to Mary in the village of Nazareth. The angel said, greetings. The Lord has blessed

you and is with you. You will give birth to a son and you are to name him Jesus. He will be called

the son of the most high and will reign forever. His kingdom will never end. The angel also said,

the holy one to be born to you will be God's son. Even your cousin Elizabeth

is going to have a child in her old age. Nothing is impossible with God. I am the Lord's

servant. Mary answered. May everything you have said come true. Then the angel left her. So beautiful.

Okay, so the devotional plan we're going to be going through for the next seven days is in want plus

plenty. It's in the U-Version Bible app, so we'll make sure to link it below if you want to follow along.

But we are going to read

the scripture first, which is out of Exodus 3 verse 8 and it says this. So I have come down to

rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and

spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey. The land where the Canaanites,

Hittites, Amirites, Prezites, Hivites, and Jesuits now live. The devotional says this,

longing for more. A common story ties us all together. We want more, and we are desperately searching

to find it. The pain can be relentless when we become blind to the goodness right before us.

Our aching trumps our ability to see and take hold of God's present provision, And it is as if a blindfold is placed on our eyes

and hope evaporates. Oh, how we yearn. We are not alone in this yearning for life to look and feel

different. Even Paul and Apostle of Jesus felt this tug to make sense of our world. In Romans 818, I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The story of Moses leading the Israelites in their Exodus journey gives us a unique perspective on our desert wanderings.
