 Advent

Advent is a four – week season in the Church calendar dedicated to anticipating the arrival, or “advent” of Jesus of Nazareth, the long – awaited Messiah and King.

 Christians from many back grounds celebrate this time with reflections on Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. Advent means “Arrival” and signifies the start of an event or the arrival of a person. It’s a time to reflect  on the unexpected nature of Jesus humble birth and join in the anticipation of when He will come again to reunite heaven and earth once and for all. Psalm 89:1-52 we look at verses 3-4 “you have said, “I  have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.” Often, what we experience doesn’t seem to line  up with what God promised. Like the Psalmist, we plead with God, “how long, O Lord? Will you hide forever”? Though he seems distant, Jesus promised to never leave or forsake His disciples.

 Christmas is annual reminder that God’s promise always come to pass. Jesus now reigns as King for eternity on the throne of David. His reign extends for beyond the bonders of Israel. Christ is exalted as  King of Kings and Lord of Lords. As we wait patiently for God to fulfill His promises, remember His promise to David. The fulfillment of God’s promise always exceeds our expectations. God didn’t forget his people then, and he won’t forget us now.

 Take time this week to reflect

1. How has God been faithful to you this year? Write out all His blessings and cover them in prayer.

Be blessed
