Climbing Higher~ 1st week of Advent

Is. 40:1-11: A song of comfort that prophecies of John the Baptist & Jesus' coming.

Ps. 85:1-2,8-13: speaks of God's salvation.

2 Pet. 3:8-15a: Speaks of God's patience before judgment. 

Mark 1:1-8: Speaks of the prophecy of John the baptist & how he fulfilled it. 


While God's people were captives because of their sins, Isiah comfort the people by prophesying of the salvation that was coming (Is. 40:1-11).  We see the fulfillment of that prophecy in Mark 1:1-8.  The people sang songs of salvation for many years like the one in Psalms 85.  Peter encouraged God people of God's patience by giving them a lot of time before he judged them (2 Pet. 3:8-15a). We see that God has been patient with his people for generations. But we should be careful to not push him too far. For we can see that he has been known to punish his people from time to time for now following him. 

Challenge of the week:
In this season of preparing our hearts for Christmas let us go to God and get right with him. 

Accomplishment of the week:
So do you have all things right between you and God now?
