Advent Week 2: God Keeps His Promises

Reflection: 

Consider the prophecies from Isaiah 9:1-7 and Miach 5:2. How do you see these fulfilled in Jesus’ birth?

Think about the circumstances that led Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. What do they show you about God’s sovereignty?

What promises has God already fulfilled in your life? How do you keep the memory of His faithfulness fresh? 

What promises of God are you waiting to see fulfilled? How does the perfect fulfillment of God’s promise to send the Messiah encourage your confidence in His faithfulness? 

In prayer, thank God for the perfect fulfillment of His promise through Jesus. Confess places where your confidence in His faithfulness is weak and ask Him for increased trust, belief and hope.
