Tuesday December 23, 2025IV Week of Advent📖 Scripture Readings:2 Samuel 2:1b–10Titus 2:1–10Luke 1:26–38Today’s Advent reading draws us into the quiet yet world-changing ways God establishes His kingdom—through humility, obedience, and faith.In 2 Samuel 2:1b–10, David steps into leadership not by seizing power, but by seeking the Lord and waiting for God’s direction. Advent reminds us that God’s promises unfold in His timing, and true kingship begins with trust and submission.In Titus 2:1–10, Paul calls God’s people to lives that reflect the beauty of the gospel—faithful, self-controlled, and marked by integrity. As we await Christ, our everyday obedience becomes a powerful witness to a watching world.And in Luke 1:26–38, the heart of Advent shines as Mary responds to God’s surprising plan with courageous faith: “Let it be to me according to your word.” God enters the world not with force, but through the willing surrender of a humble servant.This episode invites us to wait faithfully, live reflectively, and say yes to God’s purposes—even when they stretch our understanding—trusting that He is bringing His promises to life.
