Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that God’s promises have never failed—and they never will. We continue our Christmas scripture study in Luke 1:26–38, tracing how the birth of Jesus fulfills hundreds of years of Old Testament prophecy. From Isaiah to Micah, from God’s covenant with David to Mary’s humble obedience, we see a faithful God who keeps His word, even when the waiting is long and the process doesn’t make sense. This passage invites us to trust God’s timing, bring our honest questions to Him like Mary did, and resist believing the labels or limitations others place on us.
We then reflect on Day 6 of Christmas in a Season of Struggle by Rick Warren, focusing on how Christmas reveals God’s extravagant, poured-out love. Through Psalm 42:8 and Matthew 5:45, we’re reminded that God is not stingy with His love—He showers it freely, paying attention to every detail of our lives. God sees every tear, knows every step you take, and proved His love through action by sending Jesus to carry what we could not. If you’ve felt forgotten, alone, or like God’s love has been delayed, this episode gently brings that truth back to the front of your mind: you are seen, fully known, and deeply loved.
