Boy Scouts (and I’ll presume Girl Scouts, too) are taught to
be prepared, which involves mastering a host of skills, habits and attitudes
that will enable the scout to respond to a wide variety of situations.
During Advent, Christians, too, are called to
be prepared.
And they, too, must master
skills, habits and attitudes.
What might
those be?
Some, but not all, would be intentional
prayer, discerning God’s will, honoring the Sabbath, serving those in
need.
By doing these things we prepare
ourselves for the arrival of Jesus.
And
while we may not receive a merit badge, we’ll be able to more fully experience
God’s unfolding kingdom.
