Preparing for ChristmasSample

On this ninth day of Advent, we are reminded to be willing and open to God's plans, even when they challenge us beyond our understanding. Just as Mary humbly accepted the call to bear the Son of God, trusting in the Lord's guidance despite her uncertainty, we too are called to embrace God's purposes for our lives with courage and faith. As we stand firm in His promises, we remember that God's presence strengthens us and that He goes before us. In times of fear or doubt, may we, like Mary, respond with a willing heart, ready to follow where God leads us, trusting that His plan is perfect and His power is all-sufficient.

About this Plan

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.
