The Daily Dose #0093

Advent reminds us that God’s grace is constant, even as we wait for His promises to be fulfilled. When you rest in His grace, fear loses its grip, and hope takes its place. Rest in God’s presence and trust him with your needs for he is faithful to provide. Take heart, and have peace for He is with you now, and His promises are certain.

What are the areas where fear or uncertainty weigh on your heart? Surrender them to God, and rest in the assurance of His grace. Let His unchanging promises renew your hope and strengthen your faith as you anticipate His coming.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
