Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.

We hear a common phrase, “wait here and I’ll be back in few minutes”. We usually do wait because we trusted the word of that person. How much more if it is God speaking to us through His Word to wait in hope?

Impatient people doesn’t like to wait but a pregnant woman is willing to go through the nine (9) months pregnancy period because they knew there is no “short cut” in life. In the order of God, hope plays a very important role.

During this year’s Advent season our word of the week is “Hope”. Advent is a Christian tradition of preparing for and anticipating the celebration of Jesus’ birth. So whether Advent is a tradition you’ve celebrated for years or this is your very first time, you’re invited to come on this special journey. Discover how Jesus can bring hope, peace, joy, and love into your life today.

Advent begins with hope because the birth of Jesus was a gift, showing us God hasn’t abandoned us. He’s with us, and He’s still working for good. Read the story of the wise men who came to see Jesus: Matthew 2:1-12

Hope is the wholehearted, evidence-based trust that God is making a better future.
