যিশাইয় ভাববাদীর পুস্তক। 64:4

Advent invites us to journey through the darkness to discover the light, the incarnate Word of God who "shines in the darkness" (John 1:5). This plan focuses upon the weekly themes of Advent—hope, peace, joy, and love—and serves as a guide through each week of the season. It is taken from our book, Dawn, with reflections for every day of Advent available within the Dwell Bible App.

Share this devotional with others as Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful message. What assignment has God given you to complete? What gifts, talents, and abilities has God planted on the inside of you? What vision has God given you to accomplish? What dream has God buried on the inside of your heart? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous—the Lord is with you.

Have you ever waited…and waited…and waited, only to be asked to keep waiting? If you know Jesus, you understand that in our waiting, we are learning ... but that’s sometimes not easy! Come and spend some time learning about God’s plan for you…in your waiting, and be encouraged about the seemingly silent times in our lives.

Advent serves as a season of both reflection and anticipation. Though the traditional Advent season begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, this 5-day plan can be done over any five days during the Christmas season. We’ll dive into various Scriptures, each corresponding to spiritual themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. These themes deepen our understanding of how we are called to await the coming of the Lord.
