He will swallow up death in victory;
and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces;
and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth:
for the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 25:8 KJV
***
“In this day, this season, miracles will grow within, unfurl, bear fruit.
And the heart that makes time and space for Him to come will be a glorious place.
A place of sheer, radiant defiance in the face of a world careening mad and stressed.
Because each day of Advent, we will actively wait.
We will wait knowing that the remaking of everything has already begun.”
Ann Voskamp, The Greatest Gift
***
And it shall be said in that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him,
and he will save us: this is the Lord;
we have waited for him,
we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Isaiah 25:9 KJV
