As we look towards another week and the coming Advent season, we invite you to take a moment to reflect on these questions from :
The world feels fractured and volatile right now. Notice how your body responds when you scroll through the news, carrying the stress of systems built on scarcity and fear. What would it look like to step back and let the God of peace guide your next faithful step? How can Scripture become a soft landing place (not a hardened weapon) in the chaos?
Recall a time recently when you experienced something beautiful that surprised you (like the Northern Lights glowing over the Midwest sky!). How did your body react? Sometimes, awe invites us to come home to ourselves and to the One who gives each breath. Where might God be offering you glimpses of wonder in the comings and goings of your ordinary days?
Scripture
Through the heartfelt mercies of our God,
God’s Sunrise will break in upon us,
Shining on those in the darkness,
those sitting in the shadow of death,
Then showing us the way, one foot at a time,
down the path of peace.
Luke 1:79b (MSG)
