As we work our way through advent and wait with increased expectation to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and anticipate His second coming, I think of this verse from Psalm 130:5, that says, “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word, I put my hope." I like this verse because it is a reminder that my hope is in Jesus, and just as the psalmist says in this verse, God's word does give you hope. With that being said, I would like to praise God today for the hope that He gives us through His word and through His Son Jesus Christ. I would also like to thank Him today for His presence that goes with us everywhere that we go, and my prayer for all of you today is that His love and grace will be the foundation of all that you do. May your life always reflect His glory. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
