It’s December 14, 2015--less than two weeks from Christmas--and everywhere we turn, we are confronted with the news of terrorists, killings, distrust among people and nations. Fear is holding many of us hostage.
People are afraid today--afraid to fly, afraid to go to sporting events or shopping malls. Yet we have a reason to sing--to be joyful. This is a season of celebration--we remember the day that God left heaven and came to earth as a baby. He came to bring peace to our hearts and to save us from our sins--to give us an abundant life on earth and eternal life with Him forever. He has power over everything. Can the cares of the world really overshadow this great truth? As I watched this video (see link below), I felt sad--sad that our times are so troubled and full of turmoil. But then I was reminded that we have a reason to sing, even when times are the darkest because, no matter how dark it gets, we know the God who is working out His plan for all mankind. Are we going to be full of desperation and despair like those who have no hope, or will we show the world that knowing Jesus and celebrating His birth brings joy and peace to our hearts?
