The word advent means "expectation." What advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.

God never seems to work at the speed that we want Him to.

Worry and worship cannot exist in the same space. One always displaces the other. Choose worship.

We go from Malachi to Matthew in one page of our scriptures, but that one piece of paper that separates the Old Testament from the New Testament represents 400 years of history - 400 years where there wasn't a prophet, 400 years where God's voice wasn't heard. And that silence was broken with the cry of a baby on Christmas night.

God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘I am here.’
