Old Testament
Darkness and judgment surround Judah, yet Isaiah announces a great light and a coming Child whose rule will bring lasting peace.
New Testament
Paul learns that Christ's grace is sufficient and that divine power is displayed through human weakness.
Psalm
David brings betrayal, fear, and anguish to God instead of carrying them alone.
Proverb
Do not wear yourself out chasing wealth; riches can disappear quickly.
Discover
The promised Child and Paul's sufficient Lord meet in Jesus. He is the Light in darkness, the King of peace, and the One
whose strength is enough when ours is not.
Reflect
Where am I trying to be strong instead of receiving Christ's sufficient grace?
Fellowship
How can weakness become a place where Jesus is seen more clearly?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, be my light in darkness and my strength in weakness. Your grace is enough. Amen.

Bring one weakness to Christ instead of hiding it.
