Advent begins in waiting—in the quiet before the first note. This four-week devotional invites you to sit in stillness and listen through Longing, Interruption, Hiddenness, and Nearness toward the promise at Christmas' heart: God with us. Come as you are, questions and all—alone with coffee or with family gathered close. Emmanuel walks you toward the One who is always near.
Scripture: I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchman for the morning. Psalm 130:5–6 ESV
