Second Saturday in Advent

Saturday's scripture is from Micah 5, and the devotional writer talks about how we must battle for our very identities.

That is so true. There are so many voices commanding us who to be. Be successful, be wealthy, be famous, be beautiful... or else be a loser.

And yet when we are secure in God's love, when our full identity is shaped by God's desire for our best, we become deaf to all those voices. We know Whose we are, and that has more power than anything else. We have it All, we have nothing to lose.
