✨ Daily Devotional – Watching for the Light : Hope Grows as We Wait on the Lord

Scripture: “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”— Isaiah 9:2 (KJV)

Reflection: As we move deeper into the Christmas season, we find ourselves in a sacred place of waiting. Waiting isn’t passive—it’s expectant. It’s watching the horizon for the first glow of dawn, trusting that light is coming even when the night feels long.

Before Jesus was born, the world waited in darkness—generation after generation longing for hope, peace, and redemption. And then, at just the right moment, God sent the Light of the world.

That same Light still shines today.It shines into weary hearts.It shines into seasons of grief, uncertainty, and longing.It shines into ordinary lives with extraordinary grace.

When life feels heavy or unclear, remember this: darkness never has the final word. God’s light always breaks through. Advent reminds us that waiting is not wasted—it is where faith deepens and hope takes root.

Today, lift your eyes and watch for the Light. God is still at work, still faithful, still shining hope into every shadow.

Meditation:Sit quietly for a moment and reflect on where you need God’s light today. Whisper:“Lord, shine Your light into my heart.”

Prayer:Father, thank You for the promise of Your light. As I wait on You, help me trust Your timing and rest in Your faithfulness. Shine Your light into every dark place in my life and fill me with hope as I prepare my heart for Christmas. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 💜
