From Silence to Song
A Family Journey through the Promises of Advent
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed his people.”
Luke 1:68
Introduction
For centuries, God’s people waited in silence. No prophet spoke. No new word came. But even in the quiet, God was still at work . . . preparing the world for the moment when His Word would break through again.
When that silence finally ended, it did so in a symphony of grace. Angels sang over fields. An old priest whispered a blessing. A young mother lifted her voice in praise. The world that had waited in darkness began to sing again.
From Silence to Song captures both the literary arc and the emotional journey of Advent . . . the story that moves from waiting to worship, from promise to praise, from longing to light. It follows the unfolding melody of Luke 1–2, where God’s silence gives way to speech, and His Word takes on flesh.
This devotional invites your family to walk through that story together. Each week traces a step in God’s unfolding plan, moving from Promise to Prophecy to Fulfillment, and finally to Mission. Through six daily readings each week, you’ll encounter the God who keeps His Word, who speaks through His prophets, who brings His salvation in Christ, and who sends His light to the nations.
Designed for households of all ages, these devotionals are simple enough for young ones to grasp yet rich enough to nourish older ones who long to see the beauty of Christ afresh. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a reflection, discussion prompts, and a short prayer... helping your home listen together for the God who still turns silence into song.
