Catherine Lee

#AdventWord #Hidden #隱藏 ‘for you have hidden your face from us, and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.’ Isaiah 64:7 ‘Lest we think December is all Hallmark movies, hot cocoa, and joyful carols, Isaiah is here to remind us that Advent is also a time of searching and yearning. We empathize with the author’s plea for God to come from the heavens in a show of power and strength to overthrow the unjust rulers of this world, trample down the things that separate us from one another, and let God’s dazzling face shine upon us. And yet, … Continue reading Advent Word 2023 ‘Hidden’ 隱藏
