"...in due season"

...all look to you,
to give them their food in due season.
When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.
When you send forth your Spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the ground.
Psalm 104:27-30

All of creation depends on God's grace; all yearns for salvation.

"in due season"

This is a season for spiritual food. He will feed us with His hope and joy and love.
His hand is slowly opening and we are eager to gather and fill.
His face is slowly coming out of hiding and it is the face of an infant.
With baby's first cry his breath will rush back into world's dust and Spirit will recreate us.
Renewal comes with Christmas.
Come, Lord Jesus, Come.
