For us, Christmas arrives at the same time every year; but for centuries, people waited and waited for God’s rescue – for “the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4). As we wait in the season of Advent – the four weeks until Christmas – we learn once more about the sheer patience and perfect timing of God. Contentment is trust in God, even when we don’t yet have what we’d truly love to have now.
