Scripture: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on
his shoulders.” — Isaiah 9:6
Reflection (Meditation):
This verse is a cornerstone of Advent, filled with hope and anticipation. God’s promise
to send a Savior was not an afterthought; it was His plan from the beginning. The child
born to us is not just a symbol of hope but the fulfillment of God’s faithfulness. Jesus,
the Prince of Peace, brings salvation, justice, and peace to all who trust Him. In a world
that often feels chaotic and uncertain, this verse reminds us of God’s sovereignty. The
hope we celebrate during Advent is not rooted in human efforts but in God’s unchanging character.
As you reflect on this verse, remember that the Savior born in a manger is also the King who reigns forever.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Son, our Savior. As we wait in this Advent season, fill
our hearts with the assurance of Your faithfulness. Help us to trust Your plans and
rejoice in Your promises. Amen.
Call to Action:
Take time today to thank God for one specific promise He has kept in your life. Share
this with someone to encourage them in their faith.
