Today is the first day of Advent. It is a season of expectant waiting - of preparing our hearts to once again receive the gift of Jesus. Between now and Christmas we will post a daily Advent devotion here on the blog. We hope that these prayers, poems, and short meditations will help focus your spiritual preparations for Christmas and serve as a quiet oasis in the busyness of this season.
We Wait in Advent
"Waiting is the most trying of godly endeavors because it brings a halt to our own individual nature. Ours is to lunge forth with predetermined notions and solutions. Faith in waiting sits still and expects the fulfillment of God’s promises. One promise is that if we sit still, we shall know." (Donell Crosby, Alive Now! Nov/Dec 1986)
