Read: Isaiah 40:31 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
Reflect: Advent begins in waiting, an active, expectant waiting. As we wait for the Lord, we are promised renewed strength, not just to soar but also to continue the daily walk of faith without growing weary. In a world that often leaves us drained, this hope is a reminder that our strength is renewed not in the fulfillment of our desires, but in the very act of waiting upon the Lord.
Pray: God, as we enter this Advent season, teach us to wait on You with expectant hearts. Fill us with Your strength to rise above our challenges and endure our daily journeys with unwavering hope. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
Step: Today, take a moment to be still and wait on the Lord. Reflect on an area of your life where you need renewed strength and commit it to God in prayer.
