Advent is about God coming down to us. It is about his pursuit of us.

Advent is also about the expectation and hope of the return of Christ. We long for his appearing again.

As God has pursued us we have this invitation to pursue him. We have the invitation of prayer.

⁶ Upon your walls, Jerusalem,
I have appointed sentinels.
Continually, all day and all night,
they won’t keep silent.
You who call on the LORD, don’t rest,
⁷ and don’t allow God to rest
until he establishes Jerusalem,
and makes it the praise of the earth. (Isa. 62:6,7, CEB)

We are in a season marked by God’s pursuit of us. May we be marked as people who are in pursuit of God as well.
