Waiting Through Advent With IsaiahMinta

One of the verses in our hymn O Come, O Come, Emmanuel finds its inspiration in Isaiah 9:2 and Revelation 22:16. It goes like this:

O come, O bright and morning star,

and bring us comfort from afar!

(some versions say: O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here)

Dispel the shadows of night

And turn our darkness into light.

Rejoice! Rejoice!

Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel.

In Isaiah 9:7, we read that His kingdom will establish righteousness and justice. Justice. Great light.

What are the areas of injustice you see around you right now?

Where do you see injustice in your own life, ways that you have been wronged.

Write out a prayer to the Lord of how you would like to see Him move in these areas and bring justice and righteousness. Really spend some time seeking Him, leaning into His presence. He sees the injustice, He sees you.
