Advent Devotion - December 7th


10th Day of Advent
Written by: Char Klima

Reading: 2 Peter 3:11-15a
But in accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.
2 Peter 3:13

Since all these things are going to happen what should we be doing while we wait? The message in Peter is we should be ready. We want to be found living lives of holiness, with expectation and hope in our hearts. Behave as if Christ is coming tomorrow and trust the details to God. Do we know exactly what to expect? He gave clues to His first coming and they were largely missed by those who should have recognized Him. It might be that way again. Instead of trumpets announcing His return in glory, we may hear tubas. Let us prepare for a wonderful surprise while serving others in God’s name. TRUST HIM with the details!

Faithful God, assure us of your unfailing love wrapped around your promise we will spend eternity with you. Give us trusting and expectant hearts grounded in this promise. Amen
