Joy to the World: An Advent Bible Reading PlanEgzanp

Read Luke 1:46-56

Elizabeth is so happy she goes right into a song about what God is doing through Mary. Apparently, Elizabeth has some inside knowledge of what God is doing and sees big things like justice and equality happening in the future.

Pray

Pray that today you can be part of God’s plan for justice and equality in our world in small ways. Pray for strength to speak up for what is right in your family, work, or school. Pray that God gives you the kind of vision for what the Messiah is going to bring about in the world.

Practice

At some point today, it is likely that someone will need your support and possibly even ask you to stick up for them. Make sure you take that step of sticking up for someone today.
