Day 2 of Advent

Today we’re looking at the “Jesus Calling” Devotional. This little book has you set up day by day. So good, right?

First step is look up the day you need.

Before you start reading, imagine Jesus is the one speaking to you. That’s how the author has written it. Then look up the verses listed at the bottom of the page, open your bible and read God’s words for you.

So for example, one reading today is from Isaiah 9:6. You can always google it.

Or, if you have an actual bible, find the name Isaiah, then flip to chapter 9 and skim down to verse 6.

Let me just show you.

After I read, I like to write the verse down in all caps, sit with it a few moments, then write a thought or idea from it. You can underline in your bible. It is okie dokie.

So this verse from John, I notice Jesus offers his friends PEACE in the midst of their fear. And while they were “overjoyed,” Jesus’ message is still PEACE. Did you notice that?

We did Day 2! 💗
