25 KJV Advent Bible Verses for Each Day of Advent
One verse for each day, December 1 to Christmas
SaveAdvent is the waiting before Christmas: four weeks of remembering how long God's people waited for the promised King, and how He came.
Here is one King James verse for each day. Start on December 1 and Day 25 lands on Christmas morning. Read the verse, sit with it for a minute, and say one sentence back to God. That's all. You don't have to be ready for Christmas to be ready for Him.
