Advent is a season of waiting — not passive, but active, hopeful waiting. The psalmist waits “more than sentries long for the dawn.” A sentry or night watchman cannot hasten the dawn through waiting. Even so, watchful waiting will help them endure the night and to be ready for whatever may come. In hope and trust, we wait on God for what only God can do, ready for whatever God may call us to do when the time comes.

For Reflection:

"I long for the Lord / more than sentries long for the dawn, / yes, more than sentries long for the dawn." (v.6)
