Coming This Advent

Dear friends and strangers,

Beginning this December 2 I want to invite you to join me in a journey through the season of Advent. Advent is a season of preparation, a reminder of the waiting of Israel for their redemption. We reflect upon the mystery of the Incarnation and the reality that redemption has come in the person of Jesus Christ. We also take this time to reflect, wait and prepare for the reality that he will come again. It is a season that involves the past, present and future.

Beginning on December 2 I will be posting a short daily devotion for each day of Advent and including Christmas Day. These short meditations will be on the Daily Office readings assigned in the Book of Common Prayer. I will be focusing on the Old Testament lesson each day, which will be from the book of Isaiah through the season. It will be an opportunity to journey through Advent through the eyes of the prophet Isaiah.

I offer these meditations with the hope and prayer that you will be blessed by them this Advent, that they will encourage and challenge you to reflect with joy on Christ's coming as the Savior of the world and to look with hope to his coming again in glory.

I will post again as the time draws near.

Grace & Peace,

Micah
