Uncontrolled Covid-19, rampant inflation, broken borders...loss of health, loss of finances, loss of relationship...hopelessness is felt by so many this holiday season. But as I was doing devotions this morning, I found some hope from the hymnwriter:
The night will soon be ending; The dawn can not be far
Let songs of praise ascending, Now greet the Morning Star
All you whom darkness cower, With guilt or grief or pain
God's radiant Star now brightens, And bids you sing again.
"The Night Will Soon Be Ending," verse one, hymn #337, from Lutheran Service Book
