Advent reminds us that God is not late, even when he feels slow. Just as Israel waited centuries for the Messiah, we wait for God’s promises and Christ’s return. The Christmas story shows that God’s timing – his mow’ed – is perfect. In our impatience, we want instant answers, but God works like a farmer, not a factory. He grows faith in seasons, not seconds. While we wait, we serve. Advent trains us to be patient and remember the same God who showed up unexpectedly in a manger will show up for you. I may not be when you expect, but it will be when it’s right.
