Mark 13:32-33, 35-37

Christmas is coming! With it comes Advent – preparing for and celebrating Jesus’ birth. But does that fact get lost by the busy holiday schedule, shopping for the perfect gift, or hosting family gatherings? In the steady rush of the Christmas season, experience new ways to engage with God’s Word, ultimately drawing you closer to Him. Awaken your soul in this 4-day reading plan from Thomas Nelson's Abide Bible Journals.

In a year labeled in 2020, we thought it would be great to develop a devotional on how we Focus our eyes on Jesus. We will look at five different times the Bible talks about seeing Jesus and the situation. Join us as we step into revealing, powerful and personal encounters with the Savior.

When we feel that God is distant, we must remind ourselves of the truth that he Is near. In this 5-day devotional journey you will learn five pillars of deepening your intimacy with Christ. God is close; experience that for yourself. Give Jesus a listening ear and you will hear him speak so tenderly.

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.
