The Triumph of the Light

Advent is a time to prepare ourselves for Christmas, to remember that Christ coming into the world is meant to drive out darkness. During these four weeks of preparation, we can join in His work by pushing back the darkness in our own lives. What can you do this Advent to drive out the darkness, even a little? Think of where it is coming from: your screens, your phone, relationships with patterns of negativity or sin? Choose one area where you will push back the darkness and stop letting it enter your life — and in your own small way, in preparation for Christ’s coming, put on the armor of light.
