Devotional Category: Week 1

Our hope for this reading plan is to help you pay attention to the steadfast love of God in this important season and let that love reawaken wonder in your heart. We celebrate Jesus’ first advent as a way of waiting and hoping for His second advent. 

It is easy to lose sight of hope in the midst of a dark and broken world. Many of us have personally experienced much loss this past year and we can be tempted to allow the darkness of our world to cripple us into hopelessness and despair. This is exactly where the world was before the birth of Christ. 

This week, we are taking time to pause and allow hope to be stirred in us once again. Hope paints a picture of what’s to come. Because of the promise of a coming King, the people of God were able to keep hope stirred in the darkest nights of the soul. Because of the birth and resurrection of King Jesus, we now have a hope that extends far beyond this life, an eternal hope. When darkness and despair seem more real, may we allow hope to be stirred in us once again this Advent season.
