Whether it is because of uncertainty, or we do not see God’s presence, we do not like to wait on Him. However, taking matters into our own hands is not the answer. Instead, we need to remember God is faithful, wise and good. He always keeps His promises. We see that fulfilled in Jesus. So we must trust Him and believe in Him, regardless of circumstances.
What are you expecting this season?
December 8, 2024 • Jason McNutt • Isaiah 9:1–7
Human natures is to habitually chase after the next good thing. We become frustrated, though, because we are constantly confronted with unmet or unfulfilling expectations. Instead, we need to have the right expectations that transform the way we live and where we can find hope. Trusting in Jesus sets the right expectations for us.
Do you think God has forgetten you?
December 1, 2024 • Jason McNutt • Psalm 98
Life is challenging. We may feel that God has forgotten us. However, that would be inconsistent with His character. When the Psalmist writes “God remembers”, he is telling us that God is persistently aware of our situation, despite how things may feel. As we celebrate Advent, we continue to wait and hope, just as Israel did before King Jesus was born.
