For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you. -- Isaiah 60:2
These words come from centuries before the birth of Christ, but the dawn that is promised is one that gave courage to the prophets for ages. In the trust of God’s promises they waited even when the darkness seemed to dominate. In these short winter days, we could well revive that same gift of hope in our hearts as we await God’s coming anew into our lives. |
