Light Always Wins

Did you read or watch the news today?  Any day?  It’s never good.  Every once in a while there’s something we can celebrate.  But mostly it triggers anger, sadness, and despair.  Contentious verdicts.  Subpoenas.  Covid.  Even the weather is discouraging!  Now might be a fine time for Jesus to come back.  In the face of all that darkness, it’s tempting to lose hope and give in to despair.

But don’t!  Because light always wins.  When the wrong seems oft’ so strong, God is the ruler yet.  Now is not the time to give up and wail.  We have been given a kingdom that cannot fail.  This kingdom will wipe every tear from our eyes.  The lion will lie down with the lamb and a little child will lead them.  So when sorrow seems to reign and this world is filled with pain, we are more than conquerors in Jesus’ name.  Pressed but not crushed.  Joy comes in the morning.  Light always wins.  It shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
