Back in 2021 I took the suggestion to read a chapter in Luke each day beginning December 1st. I would read a chapter and then note what I learned about Who Jesus is from each chapter. There are 24 chapters in Luke so you end on Christmas Eve (I ended a bit after this).
You can read my thoughts from Luke chapter 1 here. As I was looking over my thoughts from that first chapter I noticed the truth that Jesus keeps His promises. He is faithful and trustworthy.
This year the theme for the advent series at church is A Season of Promise and today the message was about the "Promised Forerunner" John the Baptist. We were encouraged to keep praying and trusting that God's promises will be fulfilled.
I recently saw a quote that said "when we get to Heaven it will feel like a big sigh of relief" and I felt that to my core. The striving and struggles and sin will be over. The promise of Heaven is real and available to all who come to Jesus, repent, and submit to Him as Lord of their life. This Advent season I pray that you will come to Jesus, rest in His promises and find joy and rest.
We sang this song at church this morning and the message of promised rest was such a gift:
