King of Kings: An Advent Plan by New Life Church

DAG 12 AF 24

How funny are we when, waiting and hoping beyond all reason for something, we disbelieve when it actually happens? Sometimes we even get frustrated or angry with the timing. Zechariah and Elizabeth had wanted a child for years. Yet it was still difficult for Zechariah to believe Gabriel’s message of a son. Nevertheless, God faithfully fulfills His word to the couple.

Out of their single hope for a child, we see many people come into the Kingdom of God. Their son was John the Baptist, the man who prepares the way for Jesus to begin His ministry. In the same way, the things you hope for may seem simple or even too insignificant to ask the Lord about. But ask anyway. Know that you are heard (Psalm 145:18) and that He has far higher hopes for you than you could even imagine. 

Application: Today, ask the Lord to give you faith to believe in the good things you see or hear. Where can you surrender skepticism and choose to embrace what is good instead? Write down your thoughts and thank Him for these good things.
