Advent 2025

From the first light over the waters to the cry of a child in Bethlehem, the story of Scripture is marked by waiting. In every generation, God’s people have watched, hoped, and trusted for what they could not yet see.

This Advent devotional follows that path of longing. Each day traces a moment in the story — Noah waiting for dry land, Abraham for a son, Israel for deliverance, Mary for the promise to unfold. Their waiting reveals the slow work of God and invites us to enter that same quiet trust.

These readings are meant for still mornings or silent nights, for anyone who feels the ache of delay or the hope of something more. Advent is not a countdown but a pilgrimage of patience, where faith learns to rest before fulfillment.

As you move through these days, you may begin to hear what the saints have always known: that God is near in the waiting, that light is born from darkness, and that every promise finds its “yes” in Christ.
