Seek God’s Face
Christmas has come and gone. The Christ Child has been born. (Psalm 27:1, 2-9; Isaiah 9:1-4) Light has come to the world. Yet, things still feel so dark. Though we are called to carry it into the world, the light feels dim these challenging days. The rubber meets the road when we begin carrying the light into a world that likes to hide things in the shadows, push people to the margins, and threaten anyone who declares that things should be otherwise. We quickly discover that carrying the light doesn’t get rid of fear. But, as the psalmist demonstrates this week, the light does show us how to not let fear control us and keep us from living in the light of God’s hope and promise.
