PBPC Advent Devotional, Week 1 - Saturday
Saturday
1 Peter 3:15
15 In your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. (NIV)
What is your hope? What good things do you expect from God? Maybe think near term and long term, personal and global, practical and spiritual. What gives you confidence these are not just pie-in-the-sky dreams, but actual, future eventualities?
Daily Practice
Get out your Advent stone and hold it. Turn it over in your palm. Remember an answer to prayer you have received. Thank God for his faithfulness to his promises. Is there someone with whom you can share your experience of answered prayer?
