Israel chose their own path apart from God. As a result, they were exiled from their land and ruled by foreign nations. But the prophet Isaiah knew that sorrow and sadness would not have the final word. He looked forward to the day when Israel’s gracious God would raise up a redeemer to deliver them from oppression and lead them to eternal joy.
Read:
Isaiah 51:11, Isaiah 49:13
Reflect:
Identify areas of your life that feel heavy right now.
Slowly review today’s passages with your own experiences of loss or sorrow in mind. What thoughts or feelings come up as you reread?
Pray for God to comfort you with a renewed view of his eternal joy.

About this Plan
The Christ Tree contains countless sprigs of fir, representing each of us. No two sprigs are the same and they come together to form a magnificent sight. Each one is unique, yet an essential part of the whole, just as we are described in 1 Corinthians 12. We hope you will join us as we read The One Advent plan and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
