For 4 December 2024, Wednesday of the first week of Advent, based on Isaiah 25:6-10a
On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-matured wines,
of rich food filled with marrow, of well-matured wines strained clear.
And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the sheet that is spread over all nations;
he will swallow up death for ever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain.

Powerful metaphor! Sheets, king sized, hope and promise are untangling the anxiety and chaos. Thanks so much.

Loved the bed sheets image; so tangible for my personal experience and what it feels like as we wrestle with the worlds’ challenges! Thank you Megan!
