Advent marks the new year in the church, with the joyful anticipation of a new baby’s birth and the coming return of a King.
God still speaks, he still intervenes, he still instructs in word, accountability, prayer, and presence, and in the painted pictures of visions and dreams.
All too often, we hear God speak, nudge us in his direction, but we question his intent, mistrust his purpose, or fall to our pride as we walk in another way.
The holiness of life’s moments will not simply be based on what we offer in the journey, but on what we believe God will do in his faithfulness.
The gift of God’s Word, our attention to it, and our willingness to follow, are the means of discovery, and the invitation for inclusion in God’s story.
When God shows up to turn pain to peace, and despair to delight, you can’t help but join the chorus of prophets and preachers.
A life-long, persistent pursuit of God’s presence paid off in one miraculous moment—after thousands of days of monotony and intentional investment.
