Welcome to the Advent{ure}! We are on our way to Bethlehem, the house of bread, the little town where our Savior was born. Each week as we draw closer to our destination, I want to highlight the word of the week associated with Advent. This week we will feast on HOPE.
Here is a Scripture morsel to get us started. Yours to savor.
We wait in hope for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
In Him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in His holy name.
May Your unfailing love rest upon us,
In Him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in His holy name.
May Your unfailing love rest upon us,
O Lord,
even as we put our hope in You.
even as we put our hope in You.
Psalm 33:20-21 NIV
Linking with:
Linking up after you at The Sunday Community - what beautiful words from Psalm 33. Hope - so great to focus on this at the beginning of Advent.
ReplyDeleteCherry-Thanks for stopping by...yes hope is a rich gift that I often push aside for more immediate relief in mere morsels of momentary wishing for less than what God wants to offer me.
DeleteWhat I love about Christian hope, Kel, is that it is an expectant relaity. It is not some pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking, but it is real anticipation of a promise which God will fulfill. Thank you for filling us with His hope this Advent.
