Isaiah 28:11-12

God didn't promise the believer a smooth free ride in the journey of life. As a matter of fact, the Lord Jesus says there would be countless challenging and difficult times. One thing our Lord Jesus promises us, rather, is to keep calm, because He has overcome for us. Apostle James, the Lord's half-brother, later reiterated this by saying that the trials and challenges of life are a part of the tools God uses to prepare and perfect us in our spiritual odyssey. Be Anxious For Nothing!

This Advent Guide comes from students, faculty, and staff at Belmont University. Advent is that season of waiting that carefully and purposefully helps us to realign our priorities and to glimpse, anew, our place before God. Our humble hope is this guide helps people focus more fully on Jesus Christ through the Advent season.

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.
