Scriptures: Job 12:7–10 · Psalm 19:1

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Trochaic

Key: F Major

Tune: Radiant Dawn

Alternative Tunes (8.7.8.7 D): HYFRYDOL, HYMN TO JOY

Verse 1

Maker of the morning light,

Painter of the golden skies;

You who shaped the day and night,

In beauty ever wise.

Golden sun and crimson cloud,

Waving fields and stirring sea—

All arise in praise aloud,

Singing to Your majesty.

Verse 2

Birds that sing their sacred song,

Flowers lifting up their heads,

Teach us where we should be strong,

Where God’s living glory spreads.

Ask the creatures, ask the deer,

Ask the smallest beasts to speak;

They will whisper truth in fear:

‘All the hand of God we seek.’

Verse 3

From first light to the evening shade,

Wonders of Your hand reflect;

All the beauty You have made,

What the human eye neglected.

Teach us by Your wisdom now,

Teach us by Your great design,

That before Your face we bow,

Owning everything as Thine.

Verse 4

Let our hearts arise with dawn,

Let our voices join the praise;

Every fear and sorrow gone,

Through the brightness of our days.

Source of life and strength Divine,

Let our duty never cease;

Let the morning glory shine,

Calling us to perfect peace.

🗯️Scripture Reading

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." -- John.16.33 (NKJV).

🌟 Introduction:

Advent is a sacred season of expectation, reflection, and preparation. Each week we focus on a theme—Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love—anchored in Scripture and strengthened by worship and action. This scroll is designed to guide believers in engaging with the Word without overwhelm: one theme, one anchor verse, one encouraging verse, one story, and one simple step each week. Together, we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ.

👍Encouraging Scripture

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.” – John 14:27.

🎏Storytelling:

A young mother in a crowded clinic held her sleeping child close as chaos swirled around her. People argued, nurses rushed, and tension filled the air. Yet she hummed a quiet hymn, her voice steady.  

Someone asked, “How are you so calm?”  

She smiled softly. “Because Christ is here with me.”  

Her peace didn’t come from the room — it came from the One who ruled her heart.  

That day, her stillness became a testimony: peace is not found in perfect circumstances, but in a perfect Savior.

🚧Reflection Prompts

- Where do I need Christ’s peace to settle my heart this week?  

- What anxieties am I holding that I need to surrender?  

- How can I become a carrier of peace to someone else?

🧨Action Step:

Sit in silence for five minutes each day.  

Breathe deeply and repeat: “Christ, You are my peace.”

✍️Symbolic Activity:

Write down one worry that has been weighing on you. Fold the paper and place it under your Bible. Each day, pray:  

“Lord, reign over this. Let Your peace guard my heart.”

🗯️ Anchor Words from the Founder
“Guard your peace — it is holy.”

Beloved family in Christ,  

This week we lean into the gentle strength of God’s peace. The world may shake, but the believer stands firm because Christ Himself is our anchor. Peace is not passive; it is powerful. It is the quiet confidence that God is in control.  

Let this truth settle in your spirit:  

Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ.  

Peace is not fragile — it is fortified by the promises of God.  

Peace is not temporary — it is eternal, because its source is eternal.  

You are called to be a bearer of peace in your home, your workplace, your community.  

Let your calm be a witness. Let your gentleness be a testimony. Let your stillness be a sermon.  

This Advent, be the vessel. Be the calm. Be the peace.  

The Gospel Diary is not just a platform — it’s a movement of peace‑bearers. And you, dear believer, are a sanctuary in that story.  

With love and faith,  

Rev Chris S. Akpan  

— The Founder.

🙏Daily Drop

Prince of Peace, in this second week of Advent, we rest in Your calming presence.  

Quiet our anxious thoughts.  

Steady our trembling hearts. Let Your peace guard our minds and guide our steps.  

Teach us to trust You deeply, to rest in You fully, and to walk in Your peace daily.  

Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
