Salvation is at Hand

Today’s Reflection

There is nothing in this world, irrespective of its power, that is going to stop God’s salvation plan. God’s determination to set free and usher salvation is unstoppable. Evil and darkness do not overpower good and light forever.

—Sidwell Mokgothu, Light from Afar: An Advent Devotional from Around the World (Upper Room Books, 2023)

What evil powers will be overthrown when God’s salvation is complete?

Prayer for the Week

God, you are the light within us. Shine brightly so that the darkness is overcome and peace and justice will reign on earth as they do in heaven. Amen.
