We yearn for the second coming of Jesus, for the end of this world of cruelty and suffering and the true coming of God`s will on earth as it is in heaven. Christmas is but the start of something much greater. That is what we pray for and that is what keeps us focused and working in the vineyard.
Let us pray with the Psalmist:
Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalm 150
