Do these passages stir your heart? Church-goers hear them every year as part of the #Advent readings.
“The angel went to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.’
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

This passage from Isaiah arrests me in my tracks. The more I sit with it, the more it undoes me.
“Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:1-5 (NIV)
Does this one move you too? Or is there another verse that hits you in a similar way?

We face so many decisions every day—some small, some that shape our future. In the middle of it all, I find much comfort in this promise:
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
Does this verse encourage you too? Please share with your friends.

In 2018, when I was drafted to run for mayor of Nashville, a framed copy of Micah 6:8 hung in my office:
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”
It still hangs in one of the bedrooms in my home.
True leadership isn’t about status or self-promotion—it’s about justice, mercy, humility, and service before God.
Does Micah 6:8 (or another verse) speak to you? Share it below.
