Get the appWaiting Through Advent With IsaiahSample
This week as we continue our journey through Isaiah, we will again see the promise given to the Israelites in the midst of incredible hardship, violence, and pain. We will see God offering us as well as them a promise.
Imagine Isaiah speaking these verses to a broken people. We are a broken people. Allow these words to wash over you.
Where do you see the contrast in these verses between light/dark; joy/sadness; now/not yet?
Are there places in your life right now where you feel burdened and held captive that you want to see the Lord remove that yoke (see verse 4)?
Of the four descriptors of God in verse 6, which one stands out to you in this season of life?
Spend some time praying and reflecting on these character qualities of God.

About this Plan
As we head into the season of Advent, it’s easy to be swept away with all the plans of Christmas, family times, food, and gifts. It's also full of emotions, pain, and loss for many of us. Advent is a season of waiting. Trusting in a good God who holds our times and seasons. Advent. Wait. Hope.
