Advent Day 07: Hope

FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT – SATURDAY December 7, 2024


READ Malachi 4:1–6
In these verses we see how when Jesus returns to remake the world, he will restore his people and they will “frolic like well fed calves.” But he doesn’t just restore us individually, he will also restore parents and children to each other.

REFLECT
How significant is it that one of the results of Christ’s coming will be to heal families, turning the hearts of parents to their children, and the children to their parents? Social decay and disorder starts in the breakdown of the family, and that’s where God begins his work of renewal.

PRAY
Pray for your own family, for families in your churches, and for families who are suffering from hunger, the effects of natural disaster, or persecution for their faith. Pray that God may begin mending families, and consider how you could be a part of that.

If you would like to support the work of Gospel in Life, you can make a gift here.
