Scripture: Matthew 24:36–44; Psalm 25:1–5
Reflection:
Advent is a season shaped by expectation—a deliberate slowing of the heart so we can make room for the coming King. The church has historically paused during these weeks before Christmas to remember that Jesus has come—and that He is coming again.
Just as children count the days until Christmas morning, believers are invited to cultivate a deeper, richer anticipation for the return of Christ. His second coming will surpass every joy, surprise, and celebration we’ve ever experienced.
But that hope is only cultivated when we intentionally prepare. The question before us is simple but searching: Do you look forward to Jesus’ return with hope—or do the distractions of this world dull your longing?
Prayer:
Lord, lift my eyes above the noise and hurry of this season. Restore in me a holy anticipation for Your return. Teach me to wait with hope, trust, and joy. Amen.
Practical Step:
Choose one habit this week that distracts you (social media, excessive news, noise) and limit it intentionally to create space for God.
