Advent invites us into the holy longing of God’s people—a yearning that stretched through generations as they waited for the promised Savior. Isaiah’s vision of peace and Jesus’ words remind us that God fulfills His promises in His perfect time. Like children watching the window for loved ones to arrive, we keep our hearts awake and expectant. This season teaches us to wait with hope, to pray with trust, and to prepare our lives for the moment the Lord draws near.
