It’s Going To Be Lit

The prophet Isaiah in today’s key passage is saying that no matter how long the night has been or how protracted the suffering has been, the Messiah is coming, and it going to be lit. He is bringing an end to the darkness that’s in the world, and things are about to change for the better. The word of the Lord for us this Christmas is, “It’s about to be lit.” That just means that things are about to turn around for your good; that you are about to start seeing things clearer than you ever have; that the help you have needed is on the way; that the strength you’ve been praying for is coming; that the prayer you’ve been praying is about to get answered. And it’s going to happen because God promised it would.
