Walking With Joy: An Advent StudyПримерок

JOY and HOPE

Walking in joy has its foundation in hope. We have hope because God keeps His promises. God always had a plan to make a way for sinners to be restored to His presence. God kept His promise and sent Jesus to be born of a virgin, to walk the earth as fully man and fully God, and to die on behalf of every sinner. We celebrate Jesus’ birth to remind us of God’s faithfulness to save His people. One day, God will keep His promise for us to be with Him for eternity. Let the hope of this future help you to walk in joy throughout this season.

Ask Yourself: How have I seen joy and hope go hand-in-hand?

Pause to Pray: Praise God for his faithfulness to us in sending His son, Jesus. Thank Him for the ways that He has restored your joy this week. Ask for His joy to overflow from your life, touching the lives of the people around you.
