Earlier today (December 4th) I had posted, as part of today’s devotional, a note that we would be basing this year’s Song Reflections on the Daily Lectionary schedule of Scripture Readings.
I’m afraid I spoke too soon. Looking ahead at the Daily Reading schedule for this year’s Advent season, I can tell that it will be difficult to base our daily devotions on these particular readings. What would be particularly hard would be finding carols and Christmas songs to match the themes of some of these readings, which in this liturgical year tend towards the eschatological and apocalyptic.
At Abiding Way we are big proponents of the Lectionary as a way of guiding us in reading God’s Word. We also believe that Advent certainly has an eschatological meaning that is worth exploring. However for the purposes of this resource we will be focusing on texts that are conducive to a more meditative and reflective approach to our devotional journey. We will therefore be drawing from all three years of Lectionary Advent readings for our texts each day.
