THE THEME
The Oct-Dec Quarterly Devotional theme is titled: "From Obedience to the Birth of Hope." In the depths of our hearts, we embark on a sacred journey, a path illuminated by faith. Along this journey, we encounter four profound stepping stones, each guiding us closer to the divine light. These stepping stones are obedience, prayer, gratitude, and the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. Obedience is the first step on this sacred journey. Just as Mary said "yes" to the angel's message, we learn that surrendering our will to God's plan is the foundation of faith.
​
Obedience paves the way for the miraculous. As we journey, we find ourselves in a garden of prayer. Prayer is our communion with the divine, our lifeline to God. It's in prayer that we express our desires, fears, and gratitude. Prayer connects us to the One who listens, guiding us along the path of faith. In the garden of prayer, gratitude blooms. Gratitude is the antidote to despair, the key to contentment. As we count our blessings, we realize the abundance of God's grace. Gratitude nurtures faith, for a thankful heart is a faithful heart
.
At the culmination of our journey, we arrive at the manger in Bethlehem, where Jesus is born. His birth is the embodiment of divine love and the fulfillment of God's promise. Through Jesus, we find hope, redemption, and the ultimate reason for our faith. As we reflect on our journey, we see how obedience, prayer, gratitude, and the birth of Jesus intertwine to form the very fabric of our faith. Obedience opens our hearts, prayer deepens our connection, gratitude fuels our joy, and Jesus' birth ignites our hope.
These stepping stones guide us in our spiritual journey, leading us ever closer to the profound and transformative power of faith. With these four pillars of faith as our guide, we navigate life's challenges, knowing that our journey is not in vain. It is a journey of obedience, a journey of prayer, a journey of gratitude, and, ultimately, a journey that leads us to the eternal light of Christ's love.
