As the sun rises on December, we begin a season of waiting. For four hundred years the children of Israel waited for the appearing of their Messiah. His advent was the dream of old men and the joy of eager children. Rumors and whispers about His coming drifted around fires and family tables, becoming the hope of a weary nation.

​

All the while, heaven and nature were already singing — declaring His truth, His character, His power, His sovereignty, His care, and His love. Every sunrise, every star-filled night, every rustling tree carried the quiet melody of the One who was to come.

​

As we wait for the advent of our Messiah, their song still echoes. For those willing to quiet their souls, the melody of heaven and nature sings the same eternal truth today.
