Preparing for Christmas

DAY 17 OF 25

As we continue to sit with Mary's song of praise, she declares that God's mercy extends to those who fear Him, and that He has scattered the proud and lifted up the humble. This reminder of God's power to reverse earthly expectations connects beautifully with Matthew 19, where Jesus declares that the God who created the heavens and the earth, and who holds all things in His hands, is a God who can do the impossible. When we place our trust in God's sovereignty, we can have confidence that no situation is beyond His ability to redeem and transform. His mercy and power work together to accomplish what we cannot even imagine.

Preparing for Christmas

This 25-day Advent devotional was created from CornerstoneSF's video devotional series, Rise & Shine. With videos every day except Sundays, this devotional invites us to open our hearts and prepare for the coming of Jesus. It will begin broadly and then focus deeply on Mary’s experience, highlighting how her humility, faith, and openness paved the way for Christ’s birth. Through her example, we are encouraged to cultivate a heart ready to receive the Savior, embracing His love and presence in our lives.
