Faith…

“The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners;” ~ Isaiah 61:1

Faith. When you read that word, what first comes to your mind? This is something that Pamela C. Hawkins asks in her book Behold! Cultivating Attentiveness in the Season of Advent.

Imagine being a captive centuries ago and hearing the faith expressed by Isaiah in the 61st chapter. How do you experience faith the same or differently on this day?

May we “proclaim liberty to the captives” as we enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
