Advent Devotion – Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Scripture: Romans 13:11–14
Wake Up to Grace
There are times when we go through our days on autopilot, feeling busy, tired, distracted, or just overwhelmed. Paul’s words in Romans 13 feel like a gentle nudge to open our eyes again: “Wake from sleep… the night is far gone, the day is near.”
Advent invites us to wake up like this, not with pressure or fear, but with hope. It calls us to notice where God is already moving in our lives. Sometimes that awakening comes in small ways: a quiet moment, an unexpected kindness, or the reminder that God hasn’t forgotten us. Like a friend tapping us on the shoulder, grace calls us back to ourselves, back to the life God wants for us, back to the light.
Wherever you find yourself today, whether in routine, exhaustion, or joy, may you sense God gently waking your spirit to something deeper, brighter, and new.
Prayer:
God of grace, awaken our hearts today. Help us see your light in the ordinary moments and guide us to walk in your love. Amen.
