Waiting on Tiptoes: An Advent Devotional

They did not anticipate that their long-awaited Messiah would come into the world as a wee baby, born in the squalor of a stable. But God had different plans. Waiting on Tiptoes Advent Devotional is more than a study of waiting of the baby Jesus. It is also a reflection on the hope of what is to come. Just as the early believers waiting for their Messiah, we are not sure when and where and how Jesus will return. But we hope, we anticipate. We wait on tiptoes trying to get that first glimpse of eternity.
