Light and Hope
The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
Isaiah 9:2
Isaiah prophesied about the birth of Jesus; he talked about the light being introduced into the darkness.
Have you ever been in the dark looking for a light?
The dark can be very dark with little ability to see very far.
Once the light appears, although, it still may be dark and your vision is still somewhat obscured, you have great hope for what you are able to see and what it points to.
Light brings hope.
And THE Light of Jesus brought great hope into a dark world.
Our world appears to be getting darker every day with so much fear and confusion and uncertainty. Christmas is the time of year when we celebrate the hope of the Light which came into the world in the form of a baby.
What dark place in your life requires light today?
What fearful or uncertain place requires hope?
Christmas is coming, but Jesus is already here.
He is in the midst of that situation already; you just need to be open and invited Him in.
Look for the Light today, the real light, that brings hope into even the darkest situations.
And invite Him in!
