Hope

The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them. Isaiah 9:2

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7

In the darkness, hope seems lost. Running blindly through terrors and fears. They snatch at you. Grab for your feet to trip you. Strangle you until your breath is strained. Your lungs feel like they will explode. The night closes in on you. It is heavy. It is cold. It is painful.

But then a light appears. Small at first. Keep moving. Keep searching. Reach. Don’t quit.

It grows. Becomes brighter. Keep going.

The closer you get the warmer the light feels on your face. It surrounds you. It doesn’t shift. It is constant. The Light wraps you and holds you.

Hope has come. Hope is coming. Hope is here.

Prepare Him room.
