First Monday in Advent

You can read the "Following the Star" Advent devotionals here. You are welcome to post your own reflections or prayers in the "comment" space.

Today's reading from Zachariah is certainly an interesting one. The image is of a huge rift being created right through a mountain. A huge obstacle now becomes a way of escape. It's like the parting of the Red Sea and the Jordan River, only now it's through rock, not water. I wonder if this image from Zacchariah was in Jesus' mind when he talked about faith to move mountains.

God who splits mountains,
Help us to remember that you can carve a path through the greatest of our obstacles.
